Before driving
When using the cargo box, the following points
must be checked before driving:
- Correct attachment of the cargo box to the
e.base or e.carry plus.
- Correct attachment of accessories.
- Locking of all locks.
- Clear view from behind of the lights and the
licence plate of the carrier rack.
- Clear view of the driver in all directions.
- If the load protrudes laterally more than
380 mm beyond the light holder of the
e.base, the position of the light
(
à
paragraph 7 in the e.base operating
instructions) must be adjusted. If the
adjustment is not sufficient, the load must
be marked as follows:
- By a white light to the front.
- By a red light to the rear.
- Maximum 1500 mm above the road
surface.
- If a third brake light on the vehicle is
concealed during transport, a third
replacement brake light must be fitted.
- In order to reduce the rear load, heavy
loads must be placed as far forward as
possible in the luggage compartment.
Recommendation if nothing is being
transported on the carrier rack:
Remove the carrier rack (
à
paragraph 8 in the
e.base operating instructions) and transport it
in the luggage compartment, for instance. This
reduces fuel consumption, makes parking
easier and protects the carrier rack.
While driving
When using the cargo box, the following points
must be observed while driving:
- Regularly observe the state of the load by
looking in the rear-view mirror.
- If anything changes with the state of the load,
drive at reduced speed to the next possible
place to stop and check that it is fastened
properly.
- It is not permitted to exceed a speed of 130
km/h.
- The larger side surface means the driver must
be prepared for increased susceptibility to
crosswinds.
- A change in braking behaviour must be
expected as a result of a change in load
distribution.
- Off-road driving is not permitted.
- Do not drive into the car wash.
- The correct fit of the cargo box with accessories
and the attachment of the load must be
checked approx. 10 km after the start of the
journey.
- For longer journeys, the correct fit of the cargo
box with accessories and the attachment of the
load must be checked every 500 km. This should
be done more frequently when driving on
uneven roads.
- Assistance systems (e.g. parking aid, parking
assistant, automatic luggage compartment lid)
can be deactivated automatically by assigning a
connector in the e.base accessory base.
v Please refer to your vehicle's manual for
information regarding assistance systems.
