Notes on loading the vehicle zHeavy objects in the luggage
compartment should be placed against
the properly engaged rear seat backrests
or, if the rear seat backrests are folded
down 3, against the front seat backrests.
If objects are to be stacked, the heavier
objects should be placed at the bottom.
z Secure heavy objects with straps 3
attached to lashing eyes. z
If the backrests are not folded down
when transporting objects in the
luggage compartment, they must be
engaged in an upright position 3354.
z Do not allow the load to protrude above
the upper edge of the backrests.
z The warning triangle 3 and first-aid kit
(cushion) 3 must always be freely
accessible.
z Do not place any objects in front of the
rear window or on the instrument panel.
z Items loaded must not prevent operation
of the pedals, hand brake and gears or
obstruct the freedom of movement of
the driver. Do not place loose objects in
the interior.
z No objects must be placed in the airbag
inflation area, since they could cause
injury when the systems are triggered.
z Do not drive with luggage compartment
open when transporting bulky objects,
for example, since toxic exhaust fumes
could penetrate the interior. z
The payload is the difference between
the permitted gross vehicle weight (see
identification plate 3250) and the EC
kerb weight.
z To calculate the EC kerb weight, enter
the data for your vehicle on page 3259.
z The EC kerb weight includes allowances
for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and
all fluids (tank 90 % full).
z Optional equipment and accessories
increase the kerb weight.
z Weights and loads 3259.
z 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
to the load conditions. Do not drive
faster than 120 km/h. Check and
retighten the straps frequently. Observe
country-specific regulations.
z The permissible roof load is 75 kg. The
roof load consists of the weight of the
roof rack plus the load carried.

Tyre pressure
Check tyre pressure, including the spare
wheel, at least every 14 days and prior to
any long journey; the tyres should be
checked when cold. Don’t forget to check
the spare wheel 3.
Remove the valve cap key from the tank
flap and use it to unscrew the valve cap.
Tyre pressure 3264 and on the adhesive
label 3 on the inside of the tank flap.
The tyre pressure data is for cold tyres. It
applies to both summer and winter tyres. Always inflate the spare wheel
3 to the
pressure specified for full load.
Do not reduce tyre pr essure when the tyres
are warm. Otherwise the pressure may
drop below the permissible minimum when
the tyres cool down.
After having checked the tyre pressure,
tighten the valve caps using the valve cap
key.
Incorrect inflation pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel
economy and will increase tyre wear.

Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can result
in considerable tyre warm-up and
internal damage, leading to tread sepa-
ration and even to tyre blow-out at high
speeds.
