WARNING
35) If you are travelling in areas with few
filling stations and you want to transport
fuel in a spare tank, comply with the law by
using only an approved, suitably secured
tank. However, the risks of fire in the case
of collision increase anyway.
36) Never exceed the maximum allowed
load in the boot, see the "Technical
specifications" chapter. Also make sure
that the objects you place in the boot have
been properly secured, to avoid them
from being thrown forward consequent to
sudden braking and injuring your
passengers.
