WARNING

Loose objects may be flung through the vehicle interior in the event of a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre. This can cause serious injury and also mean you lose control of the vehicle.

• Do not stow any pets or any hard, heavy or sharp objects in the vehicle's open stowage compartments, on the dash panel, on the shelf behind the rear seats or in items of clothing and bags in the vehicle interior.

• Always keep stowage compartments closed while the vehicle is in motion.

WARNING

Items in the driver footwell could hinder pedal operation. This could lead to loss of control over the vehicle and increase the risk of serious injury.

• Please ensure that all pedals can always be used without any hindrance.

• The foot mats must always be properly secured in the footwell.

• Additional foot mats or other floor coverings should never be placed over the fitted foot mat.

• Ensure that no objects can enter the driver footwell while the vehicle is in motion.

• If there are any objects in the footwell, remove them when the vehicle is parked.

NOTICE

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

• Do not store any heat-sensitive objects, food or medicines inside the vehicle. Hot and cold temperatures could damage or destroy them.

• Items stored in the vehicle made from transparent materials, e.g. glasses, magnifying glasses or transparent suction cups on the windows, can concentrate the sun's rays and thus cause damage to the vehicle.

Do not cover the ventilation openings on the rear side windows in the luggage compartment as this would prevent stale air escaping from the vehicle.
