backrests.
● Do not place any objects on the rear luggage cover or the
instrument panel, and do not cover the sensor on top of theinstrument panel.

vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 257) and the EC kerb
weight.

the data for your vehicle in the
weights table at the front of this
manual.

tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.

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.

● 100 kg for vehicles without roof railing and with two roofracks
● 150 kg for vehicles without roof railing and with three
roof racks, except vehicles
with seven seats
● 100 kg for vehicles without roof railing and with three
roof racks and seven seats
The roof load is the combined weight
of the roof rack and the load.
