Seats and Stowage78
Caution
Please ensure that the heating elements of the rear window heater are not
damaged as a result of objects sliding in this area.
Note
• Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load ⇒ page 226, fig. 163.
• The air circulation in the interior of the car helps to prevent the
windows from misting up. Stale air is diverted via the outlet nozzles into
the luggage compartment below the bumper. Check for yourself that the
outlet nozzles are not covered.
Fastening elements
Eyes are located on the sides of the loading area for lashing the goods to
be loaded ⇒ fig. 60.
You can also attach securing nets* to these eyes for lashing small objects.
The fixing nets* and the installation instruction are located in the luggage
compartment.
WARNING
• The load to be transported must be fixed in place in such a way
that it cannot move during the journey and when braking.
• If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing
eyes with unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur
in the event of braking manoeuvres or accidents. In order to
prevent the items of luggage being thrown forward, always use
suitable lashing straps which are firmly attached to the lashing
eyes. Never attach a child seat to the lashing eyes!
