ARNING Risk of burns from the tailpipe
and tailpipe trims
The exhaust tailpipe and tailpipe trims can
become very hot. If you come into contact
with these parts of the vehicle, you could burn
yourself.
Always be particularly careful around the
#
tailpipe and the tailpipe trims and super-
vise children especially closely in this
area.
Allow vehicle parts to cool down before
#
touching them.
Driving, braking and steering characteristics
change depending on:

R
the centre of gravity of the load
R
Bear the following in mind when loading and
transporting loads:
never exceed the permissible gross mass or
R
the permissible axle loads for the vehicle
(including occupants).
position heavy loads as far forwards as possi-
R

as possible.
the load must not protrude above the upper
R
edge of the seat backrests.
always place the load against the backrests of
R
the front seats or rear seats.
always place the load behind unoccupied
R
seats if possible.
Seats and stowing
secure the load using the tie-down eyes and
R
distribute the load evenly.
use tie-down eyes and fastening components
R
that are suitable for the weight and size of the
load.
If the rear bench seat is not occupied:
insert the seat belts into seat belt buckles of
R
the opposite seat belt in a diagonal pattern.
secure the load with su ciently tear-resistant
R
