Tie down eyes, 9-3 SportCombi
There are tie down eyes in the trunk that
should be used to secure loads. In general,
loads should be placed as far forward and
as low down as possible in the trunk.
Driving with the trunk lid open, see
page 204.
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 stack cargo so high that any
part of the cargo lies above the edge
of the backrest, if a cargo guard
3
is
not being used.
• Always tie down the cargo so that it
cannot be thrown forward during
heavy braking or in the event of a
crash.
• Unsecured and heavy cargo can
increase the risk of injury during hard
braking, sudden avoidance manoeu-
vres and in the event of a crash.
• Use the lashing eyes and suitable
anchorage straps
3
for optimum
securing of loads.
• Provide protection on sharp edges to
prevent damage to the cargo straps.
