WARNING ● Please note that the vehicle's handling and braking performance are affected by the load and its distribution. Adjust your driving speed accordingly. Do not exceed the vehicle's maximum weight and axle load when loading objects. This may cause damage to the vehicle and result in acci- dents and serious or fatal injuries. ● Ensure that the actual axle load stays within the specified limit. Distribute the loaded objects evenly inside the vehicle. When carrying heavy objects in the lug- gage compartment, position them near the rear axle or above it to minimize any impact on vehi- cle stability.
