148 Interior equipment, trunk

Tie downs

Four tie downs for securing the load are

fitted inside the trunk. Place the load as far

in as possible.

Trunk lighting

To the left in the trunk is a light which goes

on and off when the trunk lid is opened and

closed.

The lighting can also be turned on and off

using the button on the light housing. If the

trunk lid is left open, the lighting will go off

after 20 minutes to prevent the battery from

being drained.

WARNING

Load opening:

Always secure a load properly. You can,

for example, use the hip strap in the

center rear safety belt. This will reduce

the risk of having the load thrown about

during a collision and causing personal

injury.

Trunk:

Lay heavy suitcases flat on the floor.

Then place smaller and lighter items of

luggage on top.

Always secure heavy, bulky loads to the

four tie downs in the trunk. This will

reduce risk of having them thrown about

during heavy braking or during a collision

and causing personal injury. When the

backrest is lowered, narrow objects can

also be thrown around and cause injury.

You should thus secure them well.

To retain the car’s safe normal handling

characteristics, you must be careful not to

exceed its maximum load capacity, (see

page 244).

The tail pipe of the exhaust system can

become very hot during driving. Bear this

in mind when loading and unloading the

car so that children, for example, do not

burn themselves.

WARNING

• Never place any objects on top of the

rear parcel shelf. In the event of a col-

lision, unsecured cargo may present a

safety hazard and cause personal

injuries to vehicle occupants.

• Do not obstruct outward vision or the

ability to exit the vehicle when loading

the vehicle.

• When the rear seat backrest is placed

upright after having been folded for-

ward, ensure that all rear safety belts

are accessible and properly routed.

• Make sure that tire pressures are

properly adjusted in accordance with

altered vehicle weight (refer to tire

pressures in the Specifications sec-

tion of this manual).
