LOADING INFORMATION

Warning
Do not place lighters, propane bottles
or other flammable/explosive materi-
als in the vehicle. These materials
could catch fire and/or explode when
exposed to high temperatures for a
long time.
— Heavy objects in the rear compart-
ment should be placed against the
seatback. Ensure the seatback is
securely fixed. If objects are
stacked, heavy objects should be
put at the bottom.
— Any loose objects in the rear
compartment should be fixed to
avoid sliding.
— Luggage should not protrude above
the upper edge of the seatback.
Do not place any objects on the

instrument panel.
Luggage must not impede the
—
operation of the pedals, parking
brake or gear shift. The driver's
movements must not be restricted.
Do not put any loose objects in the
vehicle.
Do not drive with the tailgate open.
—
Driving with a roof load increases
—
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a detrimental
effect on vehicle handling due to
the vehicle's higher center of grav-
ity. Distribute the load evenly and
secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tire pressure and
vehicle speed according to the load
conditions. Check and retighten the
straps frequently. Do not exceed the
maximum vehicle capacity when
loading the vehicle.
