Things to remember when driving<br />
Load<br />
The permissible load is the total of the weight of<br />
occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the<br />
weight of the occupants, the less cargo/luggage<br />
can be transported.<br />
Stowing cargo<br />
> Position heavy objects as low and as far forward<br />
as possible, ideally directly behind the<br />
respective seat backrests.<br />
> Cover sharp edges and corners.<br />
