● Use a sturdy roof rack, intended for the vehicle and rigidly attached.
It is not advisable to let the roof rack remain in place during extended periods of time. Also, an empty
roof rack increases drag and fuel consumption.
● Avoid point loads, distribute the load evenly.
● Place the heavy cargo at bottom of load.
● Observe that center of gravity and handling are influenced by the load weight.
● Increasing load size increases wind resistance.
● Anchor the cargo correctly with a cord.
● Drive softly, avoid rapid starts, heavy cornering and heavy braking.
● Max. roof load is 220 lbs (100 kg).
pg. 39 Note, Brake system
Handling, roadholding
Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure are important for proper handling. Therefore check that
the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure according to the vehicle load.
It is recommended to use tires of the same make and dimensions on all four wheels.
CAUTION!
Do not mix radial ply and bias ply tires, as this will adversely alter the vehicle handling
characteristics.
Driving with trunk lid open
Normally this involves no hazard to the passengers. However, exhaust gases can be sucked into the car.
As this is especially true for the 265 model always heed the following safety precautions.
● Close the windows.
● Set the heating system FLOOR and DEF controls to max. and the blower to full speed (3). See page
14.
Moisture on brake discs and brake pads affects braking.
Driving in rain and slush or passing through a normal car wash can cause water to collect on the brake
discs and pads. This will cause a delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a
delay, when the brakes are needed, depress the pedal occasionally when driving.
This will remove the water from the brakes.
This should also be done after washing or starting in very damp weather.
If the brake power assist does not function
The power assist to the brakes functions only when the engine is running. When the car is moving
without the engine running the brake pedal pressure required to stop the car is increased 3 - 4 times.
