Otherwise, the values of the vehicle's diagnostic
system will be distorted. Some of these values are
prescribed by law and must be correct at all times.
Notes on the cargo floor
The factory equips the vehicle with a wooden or
plastic cargo floor; this is an integral part of the
vehicle structure. If you have the cargo floor
removed, the vehicle body may be damaged. Load
securing will then be impaired and the maximum
loading capacity of the tie-down points will no lon-
ger be guaranteed. Therefore, do not have the
cargo floor removed.
Notes on the partition
Without a partition, vehicles that are approved as
commercial vehicles (N1, N2) do not fulfill
ISO 27956, which describes the equipment for
properly securing a load in delivery vehicles. If the
vehicle is used to transport goods, retrofitting the
partition is strongly recommended, as properly
securing the load in vehicles without a partition will
always be complex.
This Operator's Manual describes all models, as
well as standard and optional equipment of your
