LOADING INFORMATION

WARNING

The EC kerb weight includes weights

for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg)

and all fluids (fuel tank 90% full).

Optional equipment and accessories

increase the kerb weight.

Heavy objects in the load

overhead obstructions, e.g. a garage door,

to avoid damage to the tailgate. Always

check the moving area above and behind

compartment should be placed against

the seat backrests. Make sure that the

backrests are securely engaged. If

objects can be stacked, heavier objects

should be placed at the bottom.

Prevent sliding of loose objects by

securing them with straps attached to

the lashing eyes.

Do not allow the load to protrude

above the upper edge of the backrests.

Do not place any objects on the load

compartment cover or the instrument

panel, and do not cover the sensor on

top of the instrument panel.

The load must not obstruct the

operation of the pedals, parking brake

and gear selector, or hinder the

freedom of movement of the driver. Do

not place any unsecured objects in the

interior.

Do not drive with an open load

compartment.

The payload is the difference

Driving with a roof load increases the

sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds

and has a detrimental effect on

vehicle handling due to the vehicle's

higher centre of gravity. Distribute the

load evenly and secure it properly

with retaining straps. Adjust the tyre

pressure and vehicle speed according

to the load conditions. Check and

retighten the straps frequently.

Do not drive faster than 120 km/h.

The permissible roof load is 50 kg. The

roof load is the combined weight of the

roof rack and the load.
