CAUTIONS FOR CARRYING
LUGGAGE
Travelling at night with a load in the boot
it is necessary to adjust the height of the low
beam headlights (see next paragraph
"Headlights" in this chapter). For correct use
of the aiming device, also make sure that
the load does not exceed the values given
in the same paragraph.
WARNING
Do not load the boot above
the permitted maximum
(see "Technical specifications"). Al-
so make sure that the objects con-
tained in the boot are well secured

to prevent them from being thrown
forward, , causing harm to the pas-
sengers.
WARNING
A heavy load that has not
been secured may cause
serious harm to passengers.
WARNING
If you want to carry re-
s e rve fuel in a can, follow
legal regulations, only using a cer-
tified can n , suitably fastened to the
load securing eyelets. Even in this
way the risk of fire is increased in
t t he case of an accident.
