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

156

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. Make sure
that no objects get in the way when the
luggage compartment lid is opening or
closing.

Secure the roof-mounted luggage cor-
rectly and safely to prevent it from shift-
ing or being lost during driving.

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