Before the journey

Rear ladder

Folding downwards:

Insert the key into the locking cylinder (Fig. 1,2) of the rear ladder lock

(Fig. 1,1) and turn it a quarter turn until the key is in a vertical position.

Hold the foldable part of the rear ladder (Fig. 1,4) and swing out the

securing bracket (Fig. 1,5).

Pull out the key and fold the rear ladder downwards.

Folding upwards:

Fold the rear ladder upwards and hold it firmly.

Insert the key into the locking cylinder (Fig. 1,2) of the rear ladder lock

(Fig. 1,1).

Swivel the securing bracket (Fig. 1,5) inward around the tube of the fixed

part of the rear ladder (Fig. 1,3).

Turn the key a quarter turn until it is in a horizontal position.

Check the rear ladder lock: Slightly pull on the rear ladder.

4.3.5 Rear garage/rear storage space

The vehicle roof is not suitable for localised load. Before stepping on to the

roof, extensively cover the area you will be treading on. Materials with a

smooth or soft surface are suitable, for example, a thick polystyrene panel.

Secure roof loads with tension belts. Do not use rubber expanders.

Observe the overall height of the vehicle when the roof rack is loaded.

The driver's cabin should have a clearly visible notice stating the overall

height. This eliminates the need for calculations at bridges and thorough-

fares.

Observe the permissible axle loads and maximum permissible gross

weight when loading the rear garage/the rear storage space.

Depending on the model, the maximum permissible load for the rear

garage / rear storage space is between 150 kg and 250 kg. Do not

exceed the permissible rear axle load.

Observe: If the rear garage or (depending on the model) the rear storage

space is loaded to its maximum capacity, this will reduce the load on

the front axle due to the levering action. The driving quality is impaired.
