General recommendations
for the seats
For safety reasons, seat adjustments
must only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Folding or unfolding the seat backrests must
only be done with the vehicle stationary.
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is no object or person in
the way, preventing full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if they are in the rear seats
or jamming the seat if large objects are
placed on the floor behind the seat.
Do not place hard or heavy objects on
the backrests forming a table. They could
become dangerous projectiles in the event
of sudden braking or a collision.

On the floor, behind the front seats, a
vertical partition protects the driver and front
passengers against the risk of load movement.
Steel or glass partitions separate the loading
area from the cab.When washing your vehicle, never clean
the inside directly using a water jet.
Stowing ringsUse the stowing rings on the rear floor to
secure your loads.
As a safety precaution in case of sharp braking,
you are advised to place heavy objects as far
for wards towards the cab as possible.
It is recommended that the load be secured
firmly using the stowing rings on the floor.
When washing your vehicle, never clean
the inside directly using a water jet.
Recommendations on
loading
The weight of the load must comply with
the Gross Train Weight (GTW).
For more information on Engine
technical data and towed loads , refer to
the corresponding section.
If you are using a carrying system (roof
bars/roof rack), comply with the maximum
loads associated with this system.
For more information on Roof bars/Roof
rack , refer to the corresponding section.
Make sure that the size, shape and
volume of the loads carried are compatible
with the highway code and safety
regulations and do not impair the driver’s
field of vision.

Firmly secure all parts of the load using
the stowing rings on the floor of the
loading area.
For more information on the Interior
fittings and in particular on the stowing
rings, refer to the corresponding section. To avoid the risk of injury or accident,
the load must be made stable so that it
cannot slide, tip over, fall or be projected.
To do this, use only retaining straps that
conform to the current standards (DIN, for
example).
For more information on putting straps
in place, refer to the manufacturer’s user
guide.
There must not be any open space
between the components of the load.
When there is the risk of the load sliding,
there must not be any open space
between the load and the panels of the
vehicle.
As well as the straps, optimise the stability
of the load with stable handling equipment
(wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).
When washing your vehicle, never clean
the inside directly using a water jet.
For the Multi-Flex bench
seat and the Crew cab
Do not place sharp or pointed objects in
the protective cover to avoid damaging it.Do not place objects on the dashboard.
Avoid placing short or heavy loads in the
protective cover; use the loading area
whenever possible.
The load must be evenly distributed in the
loading area so as not to inter fere with
driving the vehicle.
Place the load close to the side panels,
or even push it against the side panels
between the wheel arches.
However, it is recommended that heavy
objects are placed as close to the cab as
possible as a precaution in case of sharp
braking.
Deactivate the front
passenger airbag when
carrying long objects.
For more information on Deactivating
the front passenger airbag , refer to the
corresponding section.
Avoid anchoring loads or hanging items on
the wall of the partition.
For your safety, make sure that small
objects do not slip through the gaps of
about 3 cm between the partition and the
vehicle's bodywork.
