To calculate the payload, enter

the data for your vehicle in the

weights table at the front of this

manual.

The permissible roof load is

75 kg.

Sports Tourer with roof rails: The

permissible roof load is 85 kg.

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.

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 75 mph.

The roof load is the combined

weight of the roof rack and the

load.
