structions.

The cover of the high voltage battery is lo‐
cated in the trunk. Do not remove the cover

Magnetic roof-mounted luggage rack
▷

Smaller and lighter items: secure with re‐
taining straps, a trunk net* or draw straps.
Because of the aluminum roof, magnetic roof-
mounted luggage racks cannot be mounted.
Larger and heavy objects: secure with cargo
straps*.
Loading
Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center of
gravity when loaded, they have a major effect on
vehicle handling and steering response.
Cargo straps can be attached to four lashing
eyes located in the trunk.
Securing cargo
Therefore, note the following when loading and
driving:
Always position and secure the cargo as
described above; otherwise, it can endanger the
car's occupants if sudden braking or swerving
becomes necessary.
▷
Do not exceed the approved roof/axle load
and the approved gross vehicle weight, refer
to page 259
Heavy or hard objects should not be carried
loose inside the car; otherwise, they could be
thrown around as a result of hard braking, sud‐
den swerves, etc., and endanger the occu‐
pants.◀
▷
▷
▷
Distribute the roof load uniformly.
The roof load should not be too large in area.
Always load the heaviest pieces on the bot‐
tom.
▷
▷
▷
Fasten roof-mounted cargo correctly and
securely.
Roof-mounted luggage rack
Do not let objects project into the opening
path of the trunk lid.

tly.
