Roof rack 

●

     

Use a sturdy roof rack, intended for the vehicle and rigidly attached.

●

     

It is not advisable to let the roof rack remain in place during extended periods of time. Also, an empty 

roof rack increases drag and fuel consumption. 

●

     

Avoid point loads. Distribute the load evenly. 

●

     

Place the heavy cargo at bottom of load. 

●

     

Observe that center of gravity and handling are influenced by the load weight. 

●

     

Increasing load size increases wind resistance. 

●

     

Anchor the cargo correctly with a cord. 

●

     

Drive carefully. Avoid rapid starts, heavy cornering and heavy braking. 

●

     

Max. roof load is 220 lbs (100 kg).  

 

pg. 39 Note 

Handling, roadholding 
Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure are important for proper handling. Therefore check that 
the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure according to the vehicle load.  
It is recommended to use tires of the same make and dimensions on all four wheels. 

CAUTION! 
Do not mix radial ply and bias ply tires as this will adversely alter the vehicle handling 
characteristics. 

If the brake power assist does not function  
The power assist to the brakes functions only when the engine is running. When coasting or towing 
the brake pedal pressure must be increased 3-4 times.  
The brake pedal feels stiff and hard. 

Moisture on brake discs and brake pads affects braking. 
Rain and slush as well as normal car wash will moisten the brake components. This may affect the 
friction of the brake pads and a delay in braking effectiveness will be noticed. 
When driving in slush or rain, depress the brake pedal now and then in order to heat the brake linings 
and remove the moisture. This should also be done immediately after washing or starting in very damp 
weather. 

Driving with trunk lid open 
Exhaust gases can be sucked into the car. This is especially true for the model 245 (Wagon). Normally 
this involves no hazard to the passengers, but the following advice should be followed as a safety 
precautions. 

●

     

Close the windows.
