99.
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an object
with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times its
own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg " ".
WARNING
Always store transported objects in the boot and attach them to the lash-
■
ing eyes.
Loose objects can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in
■
case of an accident and can injure the occupants or other road users.
Loose objects could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants - danger
■
of death!
Please note that transporting heavy objects alters the handling proper-
■
ties of the vehicle due to the displacement of the centre of gravity - risk of
accident! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.
If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with
■
unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of
99
braking manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from moving
99
around, always use suitable lashing straps which must be firmly attached
100
to the lashing eyes.
100
The transported items must be stowed in such a way that no objects are
■
100
able to slip forward on sudden driving or braking manoeuvres - risk of in-
101
jury!
101
When transporting objects in the luggage compartment that has been en-
■
larged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the safety of the passen-
102
gers transported on the other rear seats
102
for the passengers in the rear seats.
103
If the rear seat next to the folded forward seat is occupied, ensure maxi-
■
103
mum safety, e.g. by placing the goods to be transported in such a way that
104
the seat is prevented from folding back in case of a rear collision.
Do not drive with the luggage compartment lid fully opened or slightly
■
ajar otherwise exhaust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle - risk
of poisoning!
