Around the pedal area there should not
be any foot mats or other additional floor
covering materials:

•

In the case of defects in the brake sys-

tem, a greater pedal travel may be neces-
sary.

•

It should always be possible to depress

the clutch and accelerator pedals fully.

•

All pedals must be able to return,

unhindered, to their rest positions.

For these reasons, the only foot mats
which may be used are those which leave
the pedal area completely free and which
are prevented from slipping.

In  the  interests of good  handling  ensure
that the  load  (persons and  luggage)  is
distributed  evenly.  Heavy items should
always be carried as near to the rear axle
as possible  or  better  still,  between  the
axles.

Stale air escapes through ventilation
openings in the side trim* of the luggage
compartment. For this reason, it is best to
keep these openings uncovered.

The rear shelf can be used to place cloth-

To ensure correct ventilation of the car
interior, the slot between the shelf and
the rear window must not be obstructed.

SEATS AND LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT

HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

When loads are to be carried on the roof,
the following should be noted:

•

As the rain channels are moulded into

the roof for streamlining reasons, the nor-
mal type of roof rack cannot be used. To
avoid risks we advise that only the cross
bars provided by the factory are used.

•

These cross bars are the basis for a

complete roof load carrying system. For
safety reasons when carrying luggage,
bicycles, surf boards, skis and boats, the
appropriate

special

adapters

are

required.

•

The roof rack system must be installed

according to the enclosed instructions.
Open the plastic covers to secure the feet
of the rack to the roof.

When fitting the feet to the roof make sure
they fit exactly into the special grooves
and properly attach to the appropriate
part of the groove.

•

Distribute the load evenly. Each cross

bar  may carry 40  kg  if loaded  uniformly
over  the  full length.  The  permissible  roof
load  (including  the  carrier  system)  of 75
kg  and  the  permissible  gross vehicle
weight must not be  exceeded.  See  chap-
ter "Technical Data".
