WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before
driving your vehicle. Improperly secured
loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at
high speeds, resulting in personal injury or
property damage. Follow the roof rack cau-
tions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.
CAUTION!
• To avoid damage to the roof rack and
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum
roof rack load capacity. Always distrib-
ute heavy loads as evenly as possible
and secure the load appropriately.
• Long loads, which extend over the wind-
shield, should be secured to both the
front and rear of the vehicle.
• Place a blanket or other protection be-
tween the surface of the roof and the load.
• Travel at reduced speeds and turn cor-
ners carefully when carrying large or
heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind
forces, due to natural causes or nearby
truck traffic, can add sudden upward

loads. It is recommended to not carry
large flat loads, such as wood panels or
surfboards, which may result in damage
to the cargo or your vehicle.
• Load should always be secured to cross
bars first, with tie down loops used as
additional securing points if needed. Tie
loops are intended as supplementary tie
down points only. Do not use ratcheting
mechanisms with the tie loops. Check
the straps frequently to be sure that the
load remains securely attached.

Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) —
2.0L T4 200kW Petrol Versions Only
The Gasoline Particulate Filter is a mechani-
cal filter, integral to the exhaust system,
which physically traps carbon particles pres-
ent in the exhaust gases of 2.0L T4 200kW
petrol engine.
The particulate filter is needed to eliminate
almost all carbon particle emissions in com-
pliance with current/future regulations and
standards.
Since this filter physically traps particulates,
it must be cleaned (regenerated) during nor-
mal driving operation to remove carbon par-
ticles. The regeneration procedure is con-
trolled automatically by the engine control
unit according to the filter conditions and car
use conditions.
The following may occur during regeneration:
increased levels of noise vibration and harsh-
ness (NVH) and reduced engine performance.
Dedicated messages can appear in the instru-
ment cluster display as a result of the condi-
tion of the filter. Refer to the opening para-
graph of the "Warning Lights And Messages"
section for further information.
