Starting off
Check before starting off ● tyre pressure and condition 3 255, 3 294
● engine oil level and fluid levels 3 231.
● all windows, mirrors, exterior lighting and number plates are
free from dirt, snow and ice and
are operational
● proper position of mirrors 3 39,
seats 3 47 and seat belts
3 57
● brake function at low speed, particularly if the brakes are wet
Storage89● Do not allow the load to protrudeabove the upper edge of the
backrests.
● Sports Tourer: install safety net when transporting objects in the
load compartment.
● Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the
instrument panel, and do not
cover the sensor on top of the instrument 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.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 car.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 281) 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
75 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack and the load.
