Mounting roof rack

60Storage
To fasten a roof rack, insert the
mounting bolts in the holes indicated
in the illustration.Loading information
■ Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenly
distributed and placed as far
forward as possible. If objects can
be stacked, the heavier objects
should be placed at the bottom.
■ Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes 3 59.
■ Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent them from
sliding.
■ When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrests of
the rear seats must not be tilted
forwards or folded down.
■ Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.
■ Do not place any objects on the extendable load compartment
cover 3 56 or the instrument panel,
and do not cover the sensor on top
of the instrument panel 3 98.■ The load must not obstruct the
operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or hinder the freedom of movement of thedriver. Do not place any unsecured
objects in the interior.
■ Do not drive with an open load compartment.9 Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or vehicle.
■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 164) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, enter the
data for your vehicle in the Weights
table at the front of this manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),

Storage61
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank90 % 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 permissible roof load (which
includes the weight of the roof rack)
is 100 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.
