160 Starting and driving
Driving with a load
The driving characteristics of the car are
affected by the way it is loaded.
Place heavy loads as far forward and as
low as possible in the trunk.
Secure the load to the tie downs, see
page 129.
The load should be such that the car´s
total weight or axle weight are not
exceeded, see page 221.
Heavy loads mean that the car’s center of
gravity is further back. As a result, the car
will sway more during evasive steering.
Never exceed the permissible load in the
roof box, even if there is room for more.
Ensure that the tire pressure is correct
slight overinflation is preferable to under-
inflation.
The braking distance of a loaded car is
always greater. Keep your distance from
the vehicle in front.
Tire pressure, see page 192 and back
cover.
Towing the car
The car is fitted with towing eyes at both
front and rear. For access to the front towing
eye, compress the grille (see illustration)
and pull it straight out.
If the car is equipped with a trailer hitch, this
can be used to tow another car.
Transporting the car
WARNING
The towing vehicle should always be
heavier than the vehicle being towed.
Never allow passengers to ride in the
car being towed.
Remember that the brake servo does
not operate when the engine is off.
Much greater pressure than normal
will therefore be required to operate
the brake pedal.
Nor does the steering pump operate
when the engine is off. The steering
will therefore be much heavier than
usual.
Always seek professional help if the
car needs to be towed.
NOTE
If a car with sports (lowered) chassis is
transported, for example on a flat bed
truck, take extra care not to damage the
spoiler and/or underbody.
