WARNING
Loose objects may fly through the passenger compartment in sudden driving
or braking manoeuvres. This can cause serious injuries or loss of control over
the vehicle.
● Do not stow pets or hard, heavy or sharp objects in open shelves in the ve-
hicle, on the instrument panel, on the shelf behind the rear seats, clothes and
bags inside the vehicle.
● Always keep the storage compartments closed during the ride.
WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell may prevent the full play of the pedals. This
may lead to loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of serious injury.
● Make sure that all the pedals can be depressed without obstruction at any
time.
● Always securely fasten the floor mat in the footwell.
WARNING (Continued)
● Never use floor mats or other floor coverings over the built-in mat.
● Make sure that no objects can enter the footwell of the driver during the
ride.
● Remove any existing objects from the footwell while the vehicle is parked.
NOTICE
● The heating elements in the rear window can be destroyed by abrasive ob-
jects on the stowage area.
● Do not store heat-sensitive items, food or drugs in the passenger compart-
ment. Heat and cold can damage or render them unusable.
● Objects placed in the vehicle made of transparent materials, such as spec-
tacles, magnifying glasses or transparent suction cups on the windows, may
focus the sunlight and thus cause damage to the vehicle.
