On vehicles equipped with tyre repair
kit, the front lashing eyes are located
underneath the rear floor cover
behind the rear seats. To get access
to the lashing eyes, open the
perforated parts of the cover by using
the screwdriver. Vehicle tools 3 252.
Stick the screwdriver through the cover as shown in the illustration and
fold up the perforated part of the
cover.
Fold up the lashing eyes by using the screwdriver.
Sports Tourer
Front and rear lashing eyes are
located at the sidewalls. Fold up the
lashing eyes to use and fold down
when not required.
Cargo management system The FlexOrganizer is a flexible
system for dividing up the load
compartment.
The system consists of: ● adapters
● mesh pockets
● hooks
● service box
● strap set
The components are fitted in rails on
both side panels using adapters and hooks.
Installation of adapters in the rails
Fold open the handle plate, insert the adapter into the upper and lower
groove of the rail and move to the
required position. Turn the handle
plate upwards to lock the adapter. To
remove, turn the handle plate down
and move out of the rail.

Storage89● Secure loose objects in the loadcompartment to prevent themfrom sliding.
● When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrestsof the rear seats must not beangled forward.
● Do not allow the load to protrude above 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 theinstrument 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 3 280) 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 is
75 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack and the load.
