Roof bars
Do not exceed the maximum load
(which includes the weight of the bars) of 25 kg. Always distribute the
load evenly on the roof bars. The load must not obstruct complete closure ofthe doors.
Retighten the fastening screws on the
four brackets periodically.Caution
Do not use elastic lashings, e.g.
bungee cord. We recommend the

Roof bars are designed to be fitted in
a specific position. Proper fastening
of the roof bars cannot be guaranteed if refitted in another position.
No materials (e.g. rubber, plastic)
should be placed between the feet of
the bars and the vehicle body, to
ensure proper fastening.9 Warning
The use of roof bars may affect
steering and vehicle handling.

lashing eyes varies depending on the vehicle.

Storage67
The maximum force applied to the
lashing eyes should not exceed
500 daN/5 kN/5000 N.
Depending on country, the maximum
force may be shown on a label.

have priority over those given in this manual.
Loading information 3 68.
Load compartment grille
Depending on version, the load
compartment area can be increased
by opening the load compartment
partition on the front passenger side
(where fitted).
● Fold down the front passenger seat. Refer to "Seat folding"
3 38.
● From inside the load compartment, release the pin (1)
on the rear of the partition to
unlock, then swing open the
partition door over the folded
front passenger seat.● Insert the pin in the slot (2) on the
backrest of the folded front
passenger seat to lock in
position.9 Warning
The load compartment partition
must always be locked in either
position during driving. Otherwise
vehicle occupants could be injured by the partition in the event of hard
braking, a sudden change in
direction or an accident.
Ladder bulkhead
Depending on version, a ladder
bulkhead is fixed behind the driver's
seat or behind the rear seats to
protect seat occupants from
unsecured objects in the load
compartment.

68StorageRoof rack systemRoof rackFor safety reasons and to avoid
damage to the roof, the vehicle
approved roof rack system is
recommended. Contact a workshop
for further information.
Follow the installation instructions
and remove the roof rack when not in
use.
Mounting roof rack
To fasten a roof rack, insert the
mounting bolts in the holes indicated
in the illustration.
Note
Roof racks are not permitted on high
roof variants (H2).
Vehicle dimensions 3 188.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 66.
● Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent themfrom 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 64 or the instrument
panel, and do not cover the
sensor on top of the instrument
panel 3 109.

Storage69● The load must not obstruct theoperation 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.9Warning
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 3 181) 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
120 km/h.
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.
