• Put heavy loads as low down and as
far forward as possible in the luggage
compartment, i.e. against the back of
the rear seat.
• Always lash down the load so that it
cannot be thrown forward during
heavy braking or in the event of a collision.
• Unsecured and heavy loads can raise
the risk of injury during hard braking,
sudden avoidance manoeuvres or a
collision.
• Use the lashing eyes and suitable
anchorage straps 3 for optimum
securing of loads.
• Load the lashing eyes evenly. Never
attach more than one strap to each
eye.
• Cover sharp edges to prevent damage
to the anchorage straps.
