Always position the heavi-
est items directly on the
floor. Use the lashing points
on the luggage compart-
ment 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 occu-
pants if the driver has to brake sud-
denly 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, secur-
ing rings 1 and 2 can be used to stop
transported objects from moving. The
number of rings and their position may
vary depending on the vehicle.
The sole purpose of these rings 1 is
to prevent transported objects from
moving. The objects must be se-
cured to the mounting rings 2 on the
vehicle floor beforehand.
