\3 Lashing points and carrier systems
You will find further information on the
lashing eyes in the “Controls in detail”
section (
\2
page 280).
Lashing eyesThe maximum tensile load of the lashing
eyes is:
Load rails*The maximum tensile load of the lashing
points in the load compartment is:
Lashing points!
CAUTION
Observe the data on the maximum
load-bearing capacity of the individu-
al lashing points.
During full-braking applications, for
example, forces can be involved that
are much greater than the weight
force of the load.
Always use several lashing points in
order to distribute force absorption,
and make sure that the lashing
points have an equal load.

!
CAUTION
The weight of any load carried on the
roof, including the roof rack, must
not exceed the maximum permissible
roof load.
The roof rack supports must be ar-
ranged at equal distances.
The manufacturer recommends that
you have an anti-roll bar installed on
the front axle.
Warning
G
High roof loads may cause a significant
deterioration in handling, steering and
braking characteristics even if the maxi-
mum permissible gross vehicle weight or
axle loads have not been exceeded.
Always ensure that loads are distributed
correctly and adapt your driving style in
accordance with the load.
