Load carrying
GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Use load securing straps to an
approved standard, e.g. DIN.
Make sure that you secure all
loose items properly.
Place luggage and other loads as
low and as far forward as possible
within the luggage or loadspace.
Do not drive with the liftgate or
liftgate glass open. Exhaust fumes
may enter the vehicle.
Do not exceed the maximum
front and rear axle loads for your
vehicle. See Vehicle identi cation
(page 122).
CAUTIONS
Do not allow items to contact the
rear windows.
Do not use any abrasive materials
to clean the interior of the rear
windows.
Do not install stickers or labels to
the interior of the rear windows.
Hauling cargo and vehicle
handling
When using your vehicle to haul cargo,
make sure it is properly loaded to help
ensure safe handling.
Cargo should be evenly distributed over
the oor of the cargo area, with the
heaviest cargo on the bottom and ahead
of the rear axle.
If you must haul cargo on the roof of the
vehicle, use extra caution when driving.
Cargo placed on the roof will tend to
make your vehicle top heavy, causing
it to lean more on corners and creating
a greater possibility of vehicle roll over
should you lose control of the vehicle.
Loading the vehicle improperly can
deteriorate handling capability and
contribute to loss of vehicle control.
ROOF RACK
WARNINGS
If you use a roof rack, the fuel
consumption of your vehicle
will be higher and you may experience
different driving characteristics.
When using the roof rack make
sure that the total load carried
by the roof rails does not exceed 44kg.
Overloading or incorrectly distributing the
load may cause damage to the vehicle.
