straps secured to the fastening rings* ⇒ page 79.
WARNING
• Unsecured objects in the luggage compartment can suddenly
shift and cause changes in the handling of the vehicle.
• In an accident or a sudden manoeuvre, loose objects in the
passenger compartment can be flung forward and possibly injure
vehicle occupants.
• Always store objects in the luggage compartment and secure
with suitable straps. This is especially important for heavy
objects.

change of the centre of gravity can also cause changes in vehicle
handling.
