▷ If the centre of gravity is 60 cm, 23.5 in from
the ball linkage, the gross weight of the rear
luggage rack must not exceed 35 kg/77 lbs.
▷ Stow heavy loads as close as possible to the
ball linkage.
▷ Fasten loads securely to the rear luggage
rack and secure them against sliding around.
Before a journey
Before beginning the journey, check that the rear
lights on the rear luggage rack are working.
The maximum output of the rear luggage rack
rear lights must not exceed the values for trailer
rear lights.
To prevent functional limitations and malfunc‐
tions affecting driver assistance systems, activate
towing a trailer operation.
For further information:
▷ Power consumption, see page 343.
▷ Activating trailer operation, see page 345.
Driving with a rear luggage rack
When laden, the rear luggage rack alters the ve‐
hicle's handling and steering response due to the
centre of gravity having been shifted.
When loading and driving, bear the following in
mind:
▷ Do not exceed the permitted axle load or the
permitted gross weight.
▷ Drive smoothly and avoid sudden accelera‐
tion and braking or fast cornering.
Driving on a racing track
WARNING
The vehicle is not designed for use in motor‐
sport competitions or similar. There is a risk of
accident. Do not use the vehicle in motorsport
competitions or similar.
The higher mechanical and thermal loads in‐
volved in driving on racing tracks lead to in‐
creased wear. This wear is not covered by the

Before and after driving on a racing track, have
the vehicle checked at a Service Partner of the
manufacturer or another qualified Service Partner
or a specialist workshop.
