– Distribute the load as evenly as possible.

WARNING

• Loose objects in the luggage compartment can suddenly move and change the way the vehicle handles.
• During sudden manoeuvres or accidents, loose objects in the passenger compartment can be flung forward, injuring vehicle occupants.
• Always store objects in the luggage compartment and secure with suitable straps. This is especially important for heavy objects.
• When you transport heavy objects, always keep in mind that a change in the centre of gravity can also cause changes in vehicle handling.
• Please observe information on safe driving  “Safe driving”.

Caution
Hard objects on the shelf could chafe against the wires of the heating element in the rear window and cause damage.
