Loading guidelines

Risk of injury
Secure and position loads as described in
the loading guidelines.
Otherwise, vehicle occupants could be in-
jured by the load in the event of sharp brak-
ing, a sudden change of direction, or an
accident.
Even if you follow all loading guidelines, the
load increases the risk of injury in the event
of an accident.
Risk of poisoning
Close the rear door when the vehicle is in
motion.
Exhaust fumes could otherwise enter the ve-
hicle interior and poison you.

The handling characteristics of a laden ve-
hicle depend on the distribution of the load
within the vehicle. For this reason, you
should load the vehicle as shown in the
illustration.

Please observe the following information
when loading and transporting goods:
Do not allow the load, including pas-
sengers, to exceed the gross vehicle
weight or the permitted axle loads for
the vehicle.
Push heavy loads forwards as far as
possible. Fill the rear of the luggage
compartment with lighter items.
Do not stack loads higher than the up-
per edge of the backrests.
Always place the load against the back-
rests of the front or rear seats.
