Transporting objects

warning

For your safety, check that all the vehicle’s doors are properly closed before starting the engine.

warning

While driving with the right rear hinged door open, always secure transported loads.

The left-hand door, which remains shut, should not be used to hold transported loads in place. Using the right rear hinged door open while driving should only be done in exceptional cases.

In any event, please refer to local legislation.

Risk of loads falling on the road surface.

warning

Always position the heaviest items directly on the floor.

Use the lashing points on the luggage compartment floor, if these are fitted to the vehicle. The load should be loaded in such a way that no items will be thrown forward and strike the occupants if the driver has to brake suddenly or while driving on a steep gradient.

Fasten the rear seat belts, even if the seats are not occupied.

Transporting objects in the rear load area

Depending on the vehicle, securing rings 1 and 2 can be used to stop transported objects from moving. The number of rings and their locations may vary depending on the vehicle.

tip

The sole purpose of these rings 1 is to prevent transported objects from moving. The objects must be secured to the mounting rings 2 on the vehicle floor beforehand.

Ensure that the objects being transported are evenly distributed throughout the loading area.

Luggage cover

warning

Do not place any objects, especially heavy or solid objects on the luggage cover. These may pose a risk to the vehicle occupants if the driver has to brake suddenly or if the vehicle is involved in an accident.

The luggage cover is made up of one or two rigid sections.

There are two possible positions:

  • the upper position A;
  • the lower position B.

Depending on the vehicle, you can lift section 1 to a vertical position to make loading easier.
