and hit vehicle occupants. In addition, cup
holders, open storage spaces and mobile
phone brackets cannot always retain all
objects they contain.
There is a risk of injury, particularly in the
event of sudden braking or a sudden change
in direction.
Always stow objects in such a way that

they cannot be thrown around in such
situations.
Always make sure that objects do not

protrude from storage spaces, parcel
nets or storage nets.
Close the lockable storage spaces before

& WARNING 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

touching them.
Driving, braking and steering characteristics
change depending on:
type of load
R
weight
R
the center of gravity of the load
R
The gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the vehicle
weight including fuel, vehicle tool kit, spare wheel,
accessories installed, vehicle occupants, luggage
and load.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible payload
weight or permissible gross mass (GVWR) for your
vehicle. The maximum permissible payload weight
and GVWR are given on the vehicle identification
plate found on the driver's door B-pillar.
Furthermore, the load must be distributed in such
a way that the weight on each axle never exceeds
the maximum gross axle weight rating (GAWR) for
the front and rear axles. The relevant GVWR and
GAWR information can be found on the vehicle
identification plate on the driver's side B-pillar.
