70Storage9Warning
Passengers must not use the seat
when transporting objects
beneath it with the lower trim flaps
opened.
Overcab storage
The total weight in this compartment
must not exceed 35 kg.
Load compartment
Do not attach items to or hang items
on the upper or lower struts on either
side of the 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 car.
Load compartment cover
Rear parcel shelf Do not place any excessively heavy
or sharp-edged objects on the rear
parcel shelf.
The maximum load permissible is 50 kg.
The rear parcel shelf can be installed
in 2 positions, i.e. the upper position
or the lower position.
The rear parcel shelf may also be
folded up, allowing for greater
flexibility in the load compartment.
Removing
To remove, release parcel shelf from
its retainers on both sides.
If the rear seats 3 46 are in the folded
position, remove the parcel shelf and
store it horizontally in front of the
folded rear seats.

Storage73Loading 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 71.
● Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent sliding.
● When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrestsof the rear seats 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 instrument panel.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, orhinder the freedom of movement
of the driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment. In addition, the
number plate is only
distinguishable and illuminated correctly if the doors are closed.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 car.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 185) 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),
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 permissible roof load is
200 kg for H1 Roof height
variants and 150 kg for H2 Roof
height variants (excludes
Platform cab conversions). The
roof load is the combined weight
of the roof rack and the load.
