Volkswagen ID.4: Driving a loaded vehicle

Heed the following for good vehicle handling when the vehicle is loaded:

• Stow all cargo securely.
• Accelerate with extra care and caution.
• Avoid sudden braking and driving maneuvers.
• Brake earlier than usual.
• If necessary, read and heed the information about roof racks (→ Roof rack).
• If necessary, note the information about driving with a trailer.

WARNING

Sliding loads can considerably impair the driving stability and safety of your vehicle, and increase the braking distance when you brake hard or perform emergency braking. This can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

• Correctly secure the load to prevent it from sliding.
• Use suitable tie-downs or securing straps on heavy objects.
• Engage the rear seat backrests and, if necessary, the adjustable rear seats securely.

NOTICE

Spilled fluids can come in contact with the connectors of the orange high-voltage cables. This can cause damage to the electrical system and high-voltage battery.

• Do not transport large amounts of fluids in the vehicle interior.
