®®
Exceeding the maximum permissible weights, gross combination weights, loads,
dimensions, maximum speeds and axle loads can damage the vehicle and cause
accidents and serious injuries.
•Do not exceed the permitted weights, gross combination weights, loads, dimensions
and maximum speeds.
•The actual axle loads must never exceed the maximum permissible axle loads.
•The payload and the distribution of the load in the vehicle have an effect on the driving
response and braking distance of the vehicle. Adjust your speed accordingly.
WARNING
The payload should be distributed as evenly as possible in the vehicle. When transporting
heavy objects in the luggage compartment, they should be placed either in front of or over
the rear axle in order to minimise the effect on the vehicle's handling.
