Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust gases can enter the vehicle interior if the rear-end door is open when the engine is running, especially if the vehicle is in motion.
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip over or be thrown around and thereby hit vehicle occupants.
There is a risk of injury, particularly in the event of sudden braking or a sudden change in direction.
If objects in the vehicle interior 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.
The exhaust tailpipe and tailpipe trims can become very hot. If you come into contact with these parts of the vehicle, you could burn yourself.
type of load,
weight
the centre of gravity of the load.
never exceed the permissible gross mass or the permissible axle loads for the vehicle (including occupants).
position heavy loads as far forwards as possible and as low down in the load compartment as possible.
the load must not protrude above the upper edge of the seat backrests.
always place the load against the backrests of the front seats or rear seats.
always place the load behind unoccupied seats if possible.
secure the load using the tie-down eyes and distribute the load evenly.
use tie-down eyes and fastening components that are suitable for the weight and size of the load.
If the rear bench seat is not occupied:
insert the seat belts into seat belt buckles of the opposite seat belt in a diagonal pattern.
secure the load with sufficiently tear-resistant and wear-resistant lashing material.
pad sharp edges for protection.
