Leather is a natural product. It has natural
surface properties, such as differences in
structure, marks caused by growth and injury
or subtle colour differences. These surface
characteristics are particular to leather, and
not material defects. Leather is also subject
to a natural ageing process which changes
the surface characteristics.
The driving characteristics of your vehicle are
dependent on the distribution of the load within
the vehicle. You should bear the following in mind
when loading the vehicle:
Never allow the payload including occupants
R
to exceed the maximum permissible gross
mass or the permissible axle loads for the
vehicle.
These are shown on the vehicle's model iden-
tification plate (
page 680).
