Always position and secure the
load as described above. If you do
not, it can endanger the passengers
during braking or evasive maneuvers.
Do not exceed the permissible gross
vehicle weight and the permissible axle
loads, refer to page 182. If you do, the
operating safety of the vehicle is no
longer ensured and you are in violation
of the law.
You should never transport heavy or
hard objects unsecured in the passen-
ger compartment, as they could fly
around and pose a safety hazard to the
vehicle's occupants even during abrupt
braking or evasive maneuvers.<

Loading luggage rack
Roof-mounted luggage racks raise the
center of gravity of the vehicle when
they are loaded and therefore signifi-
cantly effect the vehicle's handling and
steering response.
It is thus crucial never to exceed the
approved roof weight, the approved
gross vehicle weight or the axle loads
when loading the rack.
You will find the specifications under
Technical data on page 182.
Make sure that the load is distributed
evenly, and that it does not extend out-
ward to beyond the limits of the loading
surface. Always load the heaviest
pieces on the bottom. Be sure that ade-
quate clearance is maintained for rais-
ing the panorama glass roof, and that
objects do not project into the opening
path of the liftgate.
Always ensure that roof-mounted
loads are tightly secured, as loose
loads can shift or even fly off the roof,
posing a serious hazard for following
traffic.<
Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden accelera-
tion and braking maneuvers. Take cor-
ners gently.
