Always stow and secure the load
correctly, so that it cannot
endanger the car's occupants in the
event of sudden braking or avoiding
action being taken.
Do not exceed the car's gross weight
limit or the permissible axle loads (see
page 185), otherwise the car's oper-
ating safety may be endangered and
the construction and use regulations
infringed.
Heavy or hard objects should not be
carried loose inside the car, since they
could be dislodged by heavy braking,
sudden avoiding action or similar and
endanger the occupants.

behaviour and steering response quite
considerably, by moving its centre of
gravity.
