Loading information
■ Heavy objects in the load compartment should be placedagainst 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 89.
■ Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent sliding.
■ Do not allow the load to protrudeabove the upper edge of the
backrests.
■ Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or theinstrument panel.
■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector lever, 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.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 

96Storage
plate 3 271) 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 (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 120 km/h.
The permissible roof load is 75 kg for vehicles without roof railing and
100 kg for vehicles with roof railing.The roof load is the combined
weight of the roof rack and the load.
