WARNING
27) Never exceed the maximum permitted
load in the boot; see the "Technical
specifications" section. Also make sure
that the objects you place in the boot have
been properly secured, to avoid them from
being thrown forward consequent to sharp
braking and injuring your passengers.
28) Be careful not to hit objects on the roof
rack when you open the tailgate.
29) 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. In the event of a collision the fire risk
is increased all the same.
30) Do not drive with the tailgate open as
exhaust fumes may enter the passegner
compartment.
