vehicle depend greatly on the load
distribution. It is therefore recommended to
load the vehicle according to the illustration
shown, with the heaviest items being placed
towards the front of the vehicle.
Please pay attention to and comply with the
following instructions when loading the
vehicle and transporting cargo:
R
Sedan: The trunk is the preferred place to
carry objects. The enlarged cargo area
should only be used for items which do not
fit in the trunk alone.

preferred place to carry objects. The
expanded cargo compartment should only
be used for items which do not fit in the
cargo compartment alone.

front or rear seat backrests, and fasten
them as securely as possible.
