Luggage compartment

 Introduction

■

Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,

nets, hooks etc. - these could be damaged.

Make sure that the heating elements of the rear window heater or the fila-

ments of the antenna built into the rear are not damaged by abrasive items.

■

Do not place sharp objects in the nets and storage compartments in the lug-

gage compartment - there is a risk of damage to the net as well as the com-

partments.

Put the items in the storage compartments carefully and not load these

When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to

the shift in centre-of-gravity. Therefore, adjust the speed and driving mode ac-

cordingly.

When transporting cargo the following the instructions must be adhered to

▶

Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment and secure it with

Fastening elements

suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or securing nets so that they can-

not slip.

Place heavy objects as far forward in the luggage compartment as possible.

▶

Tyre pressure is to match the load.

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.

Luggage compartment light

The light switches on/off when the boot lid is opened or closed.

Fig. 132 Fasteners: version 1/version 2

If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish au-
