94nCargo loading  
Always position and secure the  
cargo correctly. If you do not, it  
can endanger the passengers during  
braking or evasive maneuvers, for

Do not exceed the approved gross  
vehicle weight or the specified  
maximum axle loads (refer to  
page 172), otherwise the vehicle's  
operating safety is no longer assured  
and you are in violation of the law.  
Do not carry hard or heavy objects  
unsecured in the passenger compart-  
ment. If you do so, they may be  
projected through the air during braking  
and evasive maneuvers, for example,  
thus endangering vehicle occupants.<
