2006 Saab 9-5 Owner's Manual - Page 131

Interior equipment and trunk WARNING • Place heavy items closest to the backrest and stow smaller and lighter items on top. • Never overload the cargo net 1. If the elastic breaks this may cause personal injury. Do not use a cargo net that shows signs of wear. • Secure heavy and bulky items using the tie down points provided in the trunk. This will avert the danger of luggage flying around if the car should brake suddenly or be involved in a crash (see page 132). • Secure small items if the backrest is folded down or the load-through hatch is open. Small items can also be thrown around inside the car and cause personal injury. • Do not exceed the load capacity of the car, as this will alter its handling characteristics (see page 260). • Make sure that the seat cushions and backrests are properly secured when folding them back to their normal position. Check that the button (item 3 on page 130) is flush with the surround before entering the back seat. The tail pipe of the exhaust system can become very hot during driving. Bear this in mind when loading and unloading the car so that children, for example, do not burn themselves. 131 Outer safety belt hooked onto courtesy handle IB4140 IB461
