GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING: Make sure that you properly secure objects in the luggage compartment. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury in the event of a sudden stop or crash.

WARNING: Do not place objects on the luggage cover. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or crash.

WARNING: The appropriate loading capacity of your vehicle can be limited either by volume capacity (how much space is available) or by payload capacity (how much weight the vehicle should carry). Once you have reached the maximum payload of your vehicle, do not add more cargo, even if there is space available. Overloading or improperly loading your vehicle can contribute to loss of vehicle control and vehicle rollover.

WARNING: Make sure that you fully close the liftgate to prevent exhaust fumes from entering your vehicle. If you are unable to fully close the liftgate, open the air vents or the windows to allow fresh air to enter your vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: Do not exceed the maximum front and rear axle loads for your vehicle.

Note: When loading long objects into your vehicle, for example pipes, timber or furniture be careful not to damage the interior trim.

REAR LOADSPACE HATCHES

You can carry long items inside your vehicle by opening the access hatch in the bulkhead.

Note: Fully open the access hatch against the bulkhead when in use.

ROOF RACKS AND LOAD CARRIERS - VEHICLES WITH: INTEGRATED ROOF RACK

WARNING: When loading the roof racks, we recommend you evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with higher centers of gravity, may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Take extra precautions, such as slower speeds and increased stopping distance, when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.

WARNING: Do not exceed the maximum front and rear axle loads for your vehicle.

Load Carrying

WARNING: Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions when you are fitting a roof rack.

You must place loads directly on the crossbars fitted to the roof rack side rails.

Note: Never place loads directly on the roof panel.

Make sure that you securely fasten the load. Check to make sure the straps are secure before driving and at each fuel stop.

The maximum roof loading using two adjacent rails is 75 kg (165 lb).

The maximum roof loading using all rails is 130 kg (287 lb).

Raising and Lowering the Crossbars

WARNING: The crossbars are heavy. To help avoid personal injury take care when lowering the crossbars.

WARNING: When folding the crossbars down, take care not to get your fingers caught in the mechanism.

WARNING: Do not tether loads near the release lever.
