heavier objects should be placed at
the bottom.
● Prevent sliding of loose objects by
securing them with straps attached
to the lashing eyes 3 52.
● Do not allow the load to protrude
above the upper edge of the
backrests.
● Do not place any objects on the rear
luggage cover or the instrument
panel, and do not cover the sensor
on top of the instrument panel.

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.
● The payload is the difference
between the permitted gross vehicle
weight (see identification plate
3 267) and the EC kerb weight.
To calculate the payload, enter the
data for your vehicle in the weights
table at the front of this manual.
The EC kerb weight includes weights
for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg)
and all fluids (fuel 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 centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and secure
it properly with retaining straps.
Adjust the tyre pressure and vehicle
speed according to the load
conditions. Check and retighten the
straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than 120 km/h /
75 mph.
The permissible roof load is:
●
80 kg for vehicles with roof
railing
●
100 kg for vehicles without roof
railing and with two roof racks
●
150 kg for vehicles without roof
railing and with three roof racks,
except vehicles with seven seats
●
100 kg for vehicles without roof
railing and with three roof racks
and seven seats
The roof load is the combined weight of
the roof rack and the load.

Overload indicator

The overload indicator checks whether
the vehicle is overloaded. The function is
designed to help avoiding overload and
the consequent risks such as unstable
road behaviour, tyre blowout, premature
wear etc.
