• Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured. Lash theload securely with retaining straps.
• Distribute the load evenly over the loadcarriers. Put the heaviest objects at thebottom.
• The size of the area exposed to the wind,and therefore fuel consumption, increasewith the size of the load.
• Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,heavy braking and hard cornering.
