Place the load as far forward as possible. Driving with the bootlid open, see page 166. Load anchoring WARNING • Put heavy loads as low down and as far forward as possible in the luggage compartment, i.e. against the back of the rear seat. • Never overload the cargo net 3. If the elastic breaks this may cause personal injury. Do not use a cargo net that shows signs of wear. • Never stack loads so high that any part of the load lies above the edge of the backrest, if a load guard 3 is not being used. • Always lash down the load so that it cannot be thrown forward during heavy braking or in the event of a collision. • Unsecured and heavy loads can increase the risk of injury during hard braking, sudden avoidance manoeuvres and in the event of a collision. • For the best load anchoring, use the special lashing eyes and straps 3. • Load the lashing eyes evenly. Never attach more than one strap to each lashing eye. • Provide protection on sharp edges to prevent damage to the anchoring straps. • Never use the elastic floor net 3 and elastic side net 3 when the rear seat is folded down. These nets are only intended to keep light objects tidy, not for the anchoring of loads. • If possible, avoid having the rear seat folded down when driving with a heavy load because the anchoring possibilities are restricted when the rear seat is in this position. That the rear seat is in the upright position is a basic requirement for protection against load displacement in the event of a collision. • Improve the protection by fastening the outer seat belts. Check that the two red warning-indication flags are fully down. This shows that the backrests are locked.

The driving characteristics of the car can be affected because the centre of gravity is altered when there is a load in the luggage compartment. • An object weighting 55 lbs. (25 kg) corresponds to a weight of 2000 lbs. (1000 kg) in a head on collision at 30 mph (50 km/h). • Adjust the car´s load (passengers and luggage) so that the gross vehicle weight or the axle weight are not exceeded, see page 236. Cargo net 3 WARNING • Never overload the cargo net 3. If the elastic breaks this may cause personal injury. Do not use a cargo net that shows signs of wear. • Never use an elastic net in the luggage compartment when the rear seat is folded down. These nets are only intended to keep light objects tidy, not for the anchoring of loads. • Secure the load in the luggage compartment firmly. Using a cargo net is not considered as load securing. • The only purpose of a cargo net is to prevent light objects from being thrown forward into the cabin during heavy breaking.

corresponds to a weight of 2000 lbs.<br />
(1000 kg) in a head on collision at<br />
