Notes on loading the vehicle
WARNING Risk of exhaust gas poisoning

Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide.  Exhaust gases can enter the vehicle interior if the boot lid is open when the engine is running, especially if the vehicle is in motion.

Always switch off the engine before opening the boot lid.
Never drive with the boot lid open.
WARNING Risk of injury from unsecured items in the vehicle

If objects are not secured or not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip over or be thrown around; this could result in vehicle occupants being hit.

This also applies to:

  • Luggage or loads

  • Seats that have been removed and are transported in the vehicle as an exception.

There is a risk of injury, particularly in the event of sudden braking or a sudden change in direction.

Always stow objects in such a way that they cannot be thrown around.
Before the journey, secure objects, luggage or loads against slipping or tipping over.
If a seat has been removed, preferably stow the seat outside of the vehicle.
WARNING Risk of injury from incorrectly stowed objects

If objects in the passenger compartment are stowed incorrectly, they can slide or be thrown around and hit vehicle occupants. In addition, cup holders, open stowage spaces and mobile phone brackets cannot always retain all objects they contain.

There is a risk of injury, particularly in the event of sudden braking or a sudden change in direction.

Always stow objects so that they cannot be thrown around in such situations.
Always make sure that objects do not protrude from stowage spaces, luggage nets or stowage nets.
Close the lockable stowage spaces before starting a journey.
Always stow and secure heavy, hard, pointed, sharp-edged, fragile or bulky objects in the boot.
WARNING Risk of burns from tailpipes and tailpipe trim

The tailpipe and tailpipe trim can become very hot. If you come into contact with these parts of the vehicle, you could burn yourself.

Always be particularly careful around the tailpipe and the tailpipe trim.
Allow the vehicle parts to cool down before you touch them.
The handling characteristics of your vehicle are dependent on the distribution of the load within the vehicle. You should bear the following in mind when loading the vehicle:

  • never exceed the maximum permissible gross mass or the permissible axle loads for the vehicle (including occupants).

  • the load must not protrude above the upper edge of the seat backrests.

  • always place the load behind unoccupied seats if possible.

  • secure the load using the tie-down eyes and distribute the load evenly.
