Storage83Roof rack system
Roof rack For safety reasons and to avoiddamage to the roof, the vehicle
approved roof rack system is
recommended.
Follow the installation instructions
and remove the roof rack when not in
use.Loading information
● Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenlydistributed 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 77.
● Secure objects into position or prevent loads from sliding
excessively by attaching optional cargo management features to
the load rails using removable
lashing eyes.
Cargo management system
3 78.
● Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent them
from sliding.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector lever, 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 vehicle.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 228) 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),
Page 86 of 249
84Storageluggage (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 (which includes the weight of the roof
rack) is 200 kg for standard roof
variants. The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.
