HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Load area/
Pedals Luggage compartment
The movement of the pedals must not
be restricted!
For this reason, do not locate any
items in the footwell which could roll
or slide underneath the pedals.
Around the pedal area there should not
be any foot mats or other additional floor
covering materials:
•
In the case of defects on the brake sys-
tem, a greater pedal travel may be neces-
sary.
•
It should always be possible to depress
the clutch and accelerator pedals fully.
•
All pedals must be able to return,
unhindered, to their rest positions.
For these reasons, the only foot mats
which may be used are those which leave
the pedal area completely free and which
are prevented from slipping.
Warning
No items should be kept in the
footwell as these could block the
pedals in the case of a sudden
braking manoeuvre or accident.
You would not longer be able to
brake, change gear or accelerate.
Loading instructions
In the interests of good handling ensure
that the load (persons and luggage/ load)
is distributed evenly. Heavy items should
be carried as close as possible to the rear
axle, or better still between the two axles.
Under no circumstances should the per-
missible axle and gross weights be
exceeded.
Warning
•
It should be noted that the
transportation of heavy items will
change the handling, due to dis-
placement of the centre of gravity.
Driving style and speed must be
altered accordingly.
•
Stow the load so that no items
can fly forward if the brakes are
applied suddenly. If necessary,
use the lashing eyes.
