Information on Loading the
Vehicle
Heavy objects in the load compartment
should be placed against the seat
backrests. Ensure that the backrests are
securely engaged. If objects can be
stacked, 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 the instrument
panel, and do not cover the sensor on
top of the instrument panel.
The load must not obstruct the operation
of the pedals, parking brake and gear
selector lever, 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.
Warning
Always make sure that the load in the
vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown around
inside the vehicle and cause personal
injury or damage to the load or car.
Storage
The payload is the difference between the
permitted gross vehicle weight. (see
identification plate Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) 0 180 )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 (fuel tank 100 % 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.
