Attachment

Loading

fect on vehicle handling and steering re‐
sponse.
Therefore, note the following when loading
and driving:

Do not exceed the approved roof/axle
loads and the approved gross vehicle
weight.
▷
Distribute the roof load uniformly.
▷
The roof load should not be too large in
area.
▷
Always load the heaviest pieces on the
bottom.
▷
Fasten the roof-mounted luggage se‐
curely, for instance using lashing straps.
▷
Do not let objects project into the opening
path of the tailgate.
▷
Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration
and braking maneuvers. Take corners gen‐
tly.
