Loading guidelines
G Warning
Secure and position a load as described in
the loading guidelines. Otherwise, the load
could slide or be thrown around in the event
of heavy braking maneuvers, sudden changes
of direction or poor road conditions, thereby
injuring you or others. The same applies to
dismantled seats if left inside the vehicle.
Please note that loads increase the risk of in-
jury during an accident even if you comply
with all loading guidelines.
Observe the notes in the "Securing a load"
section (
e page 137).
G Warning
Do not exceed the vehicle's permissible
gross weight or the permissible axle loads
when loading the vehicle or carrying addition-
al passengers.
If you exceed the vehicle's permissible axle
loads or the maximum permissible gross
weight when transporting items or carrying
passengers, tire stability and driving safety
are reduced. The vehicle's driving and steer-
ing characteristics would be greatly altered.
Braking and stopping distances would
be significantly longer.
Your vehicle's driving, steering and braking
characteristics change as the vehicle's gross
weight increases or its center of gravity is
raised.
Always make sure that loads are distributed
correctly and adapt your driving style in ac-
cordance with the load.
