• For greater efficiency, opt for a rear mounted or tow bar mounted cycle rack rather than a roof mounted one.
• Load your bulkiest items at the bottom of the boot and the lightest on top.
• Don’t place hard and heavy objects on the back shelf or install a partition grille to avoid projections.
• Deflate all balls for easier storage.
• Don’t place large luggage behind the front seats to avoid any interference with the model’s anti-whiplash system in the event of an accident to the rear.
• When using a trailer, never exceed the maximum authorised mass (MAM) for the car + trailer combination. This figure will be indicated in your owner’s manual.
