Loading instructions

The total load weight including vehicle oc-
cupants and luggage/cargo should not ex-
ceed the load limit indicated on the
corresponding placard located on the driv-
er’s door B-pillar.

The handling characteristics of a fully load-
ed vehicle depend greatly on the load dis-
tribution. It is therefore recommended to
load the vehicle according to the illustra-
tions shown, with the heaviest items being
placed towards the front of the vehicle.

Always place items being carried against
front or rear seat backrests, and fasten
them as securely as possible.

The heaviest portion of the cargo should al-
ways be kept as low as possible since it in-
fluences the handling characteristics of
the vehicle.

!

Leave the seat cushion hinge in this posi-

tion. The upholstery could be damaged if you fold
the hinge back.
