Loading and driving notes

Because roof racks raise the center of
gravity of the vehicle when loaded, they
exercise a major effect on its handling
and steering response.

When loading, be sure to remember not
to exceed the approved roof weight or
the approved gross vehicle weight or
the axle loads. You will find the specifi-
cations under Technical data on
page

152

Make sure that the load is not too bulky,
and attempt to distribute it evenly.
Always load the heaviest pieces first so
that they are at the bottom. Be sure that
adequate clearance is maintained for
raising the glass sunroof, and that
objects do not project into the opening
path of the luggage compartment lid.

Secure the roof-mounted luggage cor-
rectly and securely to prevent it from
shifting or being lost during driving.

Drive smoothly and avoid sudden
acceleration or braking. Do not corner
at high speeds.
