Risk of injury G
Make sure you secure loose objects in your
vehicle before starting a journey. These
could otherwise be thrown about in the vehicle
interior in the event of an accident, sharp
braking or sudden change in direction and
you or other occupants could be injured. Secure
objects in the luggage compartment
where possible.
Always use a safety net if you are carrying a
load. However, the net cannot secure sharp
or heavy objects.
Nur fuer internen Gebrauch
Make sure that items of luggage and
loads are stored safely and are well secured
( page 104).
Always keep the engine running and in
gear when driving on a downhill gradient.
Drive slowly and evenly, if necessary at
a walking pace.
Ensure that the wheels are in contact
with the ground at all times.
Drive with extreme care on unknown
off-road routes where visibility is poor.
For safety reasons, get out of the vehicle
first and survey the off-road route.
