Loading the vehicle
Pay attention to the following when loading the vehicle:
•
Unladen weight = mass in ready-to-drive condition according to EN 1646-2 (Chapter 22.3).
•
Additional equipment installed in the factory and options increase the unladen weight and
reduce the additional load.
•
Determine the maximum additional load according to part 1 of the registration certificate
and the list in the "Technical data" Chapter (Chapter 22.3).
•
The additional load covers all other persons and the luggage.
•
On vehicles with standard equipment, the outside of the roof and the rear area are not to
be loaded.
– Never exceed a height of 4 m and a width of 2.55 m with additional attachments.
– Attach and secure the roof and rear loads so that they do not slip, are unaffected by the
wind and are streamlined. Do not use rubber expanders!
•
In order not to endanger other road users, objects must not project beyond the vehicle sil-
houette on the side or rear.
– Do not overload the vehicle. For weight information and Tables, see Chapter 22.3 and
the registration certificate, part I.
•
Pay attention to the correct axle load distribution. Roadability and tyre wear are directly
affected by the axle load. Pay attention to the maximum axle loads (see registration certif-
icate part I).
•
Load the vehicle evenly on the right and left. The driving characteristics deteriorate when
loading is uneven.
•
Store heavy objects (e.g. tinned food, cutlery, dishes) in low-lying storage compartments
and secure them against slipping.
•
Stack light objects, e.g. clothes, in higher storage compartments or in the compartments
below the seats.
•
Always keep liquids in leak-proof containers in low-lying storage compartments.
•
Load the bike rack (special accessory) with only 2 to 3 bikes at the most (50 kg maximum).
Warning!
Risk of injury and severe damage to the vehicle
When a tyre bursts, the vehicle can get out of control.
Do not exceed the vehicle gross weight rating.
Check the tyre pressure (Chapter 22.2) at regular intervals. Tyres can burst when the
tyre pressure is too low.
Warning!
Danger of overloading
The gross weight rating entered in the vehicle documents must not be exceeded. Tyres
can also burst when the vehicle is overloaded.
A warranty claim to the manufacturer and the insurance coverage become void.
