WARNING Heavy loads will influence the way your vehicle handles and increase stopping distances. Heavy loads that are not properly stowed or secured can cause loss of control and serious injury. x Secure the load properly to keep it from shifting. x Always remember when transporting heavy objects that a change in the cente orf gravity also changes the way your vehicle handles: – Always distribute the load as evenly as possible. – Secure heavy objects properly as far forward in the luggage compartment as possib. le – Always tie down heavy items securely with suitable straps in the luggage compartment. x Never exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating or the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating on the safety compliance sticker on the left door jamb. Exceeding permissible weight can cause the vehicle to skid and handle differently. x Always adapt your speed and driving to the heavier load and the weight distbutriion in the vehicle. Take road, weather, traffic, and visibility conditions into account as well. x Always accelerate gently and avoidsudden braking and driving maneuvers. x Always brake earlier than you would if you were not driving a loaded vehicle . NOTICE x When the CSC roof opens (goes down), it folds completely into the luggage compartment. The open CSC roof fills all the space above and on both sides of the cover that is installed inside the luggage compartment. When the CSC roof opens and retracts, it must be able to lower itself completely into the luggage compartment without any interference. x When you put the roof down, items – to the left or right of the luggage compartment cover, – on top of the luggage compartment cover, or – above the level of the luggage compartment cover at the rear of the vehicle will prevent the roof from folding up completely in the luggage compartment and will damage the CSC roof. Damage to the CSC roof caused by items in those areas of the luggage compartment where the CSC roof segments are stored when retracted will not be covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty. x The heating wires in the rear window can be severely damaged by hard or sharp things in the area below the rear window.
