Load anchorage rails mounted in the

■ Release centre pin of the anchorage point by pulling out
against spring tension,
■ slide the anchorage point to the required position, directly over a
suitable locking hole,
■ release the centre pin of the anchorage point, ensuring the pin islocated correctly and the
anchorage point is securely locked,
■ cargo can then be secured in position using lashing straps
attached to the anchorage point.
The maximum load of each
anchorage point is 75 kg. To prevent
the possibility of exceeding this
maximum, the use of ratchet type
lashing straps is to be avoided.
Lashing eyesThe lashing eyes are designed to
secure items against slippage, e.g.
using lashing straps or a luggage floor
net.
The maximum force applied to the
lashing eyes should not exceed
5000 N at 30°.
Safety net
The safety net can be installed behind the front seats or the rear seats.
Passengers must not be transported
behind the safety net.
Installing (front or rear position) Lift the covers to access the
mountings, insert the load
compartment net rod into the mounts
and secure. Attach the straps to the
lashing eyes behind the front seats; or
to the rings on the rear seat frame,

Further information 3 58.Loading information
■ Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenly
distributed and placed as far
forward as possible. If objects can
be stacked, the heavier objects
should be placed at the bottom.
■ Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes.
■ Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent sliding.
■ Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or theinstrument panel.
■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or hinder
the freedom of movement of the
driver. Do not place any unsecured objects in the interior.
■ Do not drive with an open load compartment. In addition, the
number plate is only
distinguishable and illuminated

■ The payload is the differencebetween the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 150) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the EC kerb weight,
enter the data for your vehicle in the
Weights table at the front of this
manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank
90 % full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
■ Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a detrimental
effect on vehicle handling due to
the vehicle's higher centre of
gravity. Distribute the load evenly
and secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and vehicle speed according to the load
conditions. Check and retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph.The permissible roof load (which
includes the weight of the roof rack)
is 280 kg for standard roof variants
and 210 kg for high roof variants
(excludes Platform cab
conversions). The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.
The permissible roof load on the
approved full length roof rack
system is 210 kg for standard roof
variants and 140 kg for high roof
variants (excludes Platform cab
conversions). The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.
