against the seat backrests. Ensure
the backrests are securely
engaged.
If objects can be stacked,
the heavier objects should be
placed at the bottom.
■ Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes 3 70.
■ Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent sliding. ■ When transporting objects in the
load
compartment, the backrests of
the second row must not be angled
forward.
■ 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.
■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, hand 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 between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 208) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the EC kerb weight,
enter the data for your vehicle on
page 3 3.

76
Storage
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (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.
The permissible roof load is 75 kg
and 100 kg for vehicles with roof
railing. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.
