INFORMATION ON LOADING
THE VEHICLE
Heavy object in the tailgate should
Ÿ
be placed against the seat backrests.
Ensure the backrests are securely
engaged. If objects can be stacked,
the heavier object should be placed
at the bottom.
Secure objects in tailgate to prevent
Ÿ
sliding.
Ÿ When transporting objects in the
tailgate, the backrests of the rear
seats must not be angled forward.
Do not allow the load to protrude
Ÿ
above the upper edge of the
backrests.
Do not place any objects on the
Ÿ
tailgate cover or the instrument
panel, do not cover the sensor on top
of the instrument panel.
Ÿ The load must not obstruct the
operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or hinder
the freedom of movement of the
driver. Do not place any unsecured
objects in the interior.
Do not drive with an open tailgate.
Ÿ
Ÿ 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
exceed the maximum vehicle
capacity when loading the vehicle.
For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see Vehicle
Load Limits on page 8-9.
