INFORMATION ON
LOADING THE VEHICLE
Heavy objects in the load compart-
¢
ment should be placed against the
seat backrests. Ensure the backrests
are securely engaged. If objects can
be stacked, the heavier objects
should be placed at the bottom.
Secure objects in load compartment
¢
to prevent sliding.
When transporting objects in the
¢
load compartment, the backrests of
the rear seats must not be angled
forward.
Do not allow the load to protrude
¢
above the upper edge of the
backrests.
Do not place any objects on the load
¢
compartment cover or on top of the
instrument panel.
The load must not obstruct the
¢
operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or hinder
the freedom of movement of the
driver. Do not place any unsecured
objects in the interior.
Do not drive with an open load
¢
compartment.
The payload is the difference
¢
between the permitted gross vehicle
weight (see Identification plate on
page 145) and the kerb weight. For
the kerb weight in detail, refer to the
technical data section. The kerb
weight includes weights for the
driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and
all fluids (tank 90 % full). Optional
equipment and accessories increase
the kerb weight.
Driving with a roof load increases
¢
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a detrimental
effect on vehicle handling due to the
vehicle's higher center of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and
secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tire pressure and
vehicle speed according to the load
conditions. Check and retighten the
straps frequently.
