Loading guidelines
You must observe the following:
! Your car's handling characteristics
are dependent upon the load
distribution.
! Do not exceed the permissible gross
vehicle weight and permissible axle
load by loading too much into the car
(take occupants into account).
! Do not stack loads higher than the top
edge of the head restraints.
! Make sure that loaded articles are
properly secured.
! When loading, put the heavy items at
the bottom and the light ones on top.
Danger of injury!
Loaded objects always must be
properly tied down. In the event of an
emergency braking manoeuvre or an
accident, they could enter the
passenger compartment.
Accident risk!
The permissible gross vehicle
weight and the permissible axle load
must not be exceeded by the payload
(interior and rear luggage rack),
including the occupants. Overloading
or incorrectly loading the vehicle
impairs driving stability, and the
altered road behaviour could result in
tyre damage! This poses the risk of
accidents.
Danger of injury!
Transport heavy or hard objects
in the luggage compartment, not the
passenger compartment. Such objects
could otherwise be thrown around and
injure you and others if you
! brake sharply,
! change direction suddenly,
! are involved in an accident.
Danger of injury!
Objects on the passenger's seat
should always be secured in such a way
that they will not obstruct the driver
when driving.
Danger of poisoning!
Close the tailgate before
driving. Exhaust emissions could
otherwise enter the car. and poison the
occupants.
Environment!
Unnecessary ballast increases
vehicle weight and fuel consumption.
