cover 3 55 or the instrument panel,
and do not cover the sensor on top

the freedom of movement of the
driver. Do not place any unsecured objects in the interior.

Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.

■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 161) and the EC kerb

60Storage
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 75 mph.
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.
