Load
The permissible load is the sum of the occu-
pants' weights and the weight of the cargo. The
greater the weight of the occupants, the less

Stowing cargo
Cargo area
>Load heavier cargo as far forward as possi-
ble, directly behind the cargo area partition,
and as low as possible.
>Cover sharp edges and corners.
Before opening the hardtop, fold down
the cargo area partition. Make sure the
cargo area is loaded correctly; otherwise,
parts of the hardtop can be damaged, refer
to page38.<
Lateral storage shelf
When storing objects on the lateral stor-
age shelf, do not move both seats all the
way forward while moving them to their upper-
most position and leaning the backrests for-
ward. Otherwise, the seats could hit and dam-
age the seal on the windshield, the sun visor
and the headliner.<
Light and small objects can be stored on the lat-
eral storage shelf.
Securing cargo
Cargo area
Secure smaller and lighter items using retaining
straps, a cargo area net
