As the driver of the vehicle, you are re-
sponsible for ensuring that the load is
secured against slipping, tipping over,
rolling or falling down, whether driving in
normal traffic situations or on poor road
surfaces or as a result of having to
swerve to avoid an obstacle or applying
the brakes fully.
Failing to secure the load in accordance
with relevant requirements and sound
practice may be a punishable offense,
depending on national legislation and
the consequences that arise.
For this reason, observe the legal re-
quirements in all countries concerned.Before each journey and at regular inter-
vals during longer journeys, check
whether the load is secure and take ad-
ditional action to improve any incorrect
or inadequate safety measures.
\1
Fill up any empty spaces between
the load and the load compartment
walls or wheel arches in a form-fit-ting manner. For this purpose, use
solid transport aids, such as chocks,
wooden blocks or storage cushions.
\1
Secure tilt and tip-resistant loads in
all directions by using the lashing
points or lashing eyes and load rails
in the load compartment or on the
load surface, according to your vehi-
cle's equipment.
Only use lashing materials that have
been tested according to valid stan-
dards, such as lashing nets and
straps.
Securing a load
iInformation about how to secure a
load correctly can be obtained from
the manufacturers of transport aids
or lashing materials for securing
loads.

\1
Always attach the lashing net or
tarps to all available lashing points.
While doing so, make sure that the
mounting hooks cannot open unin-
tentionally.
Warning
G
Do not carry out any modifications or repairs
to the lashing points, the lashing eyes or the
lashing materials. The load or the lashing
points could accidentally come loose and
cause serious injury to you or others as well
as damage to property.Distribute loads evenly between the lash-
ing points or lashing eyes.
Observe the loading guidelines.iLoose loads should be secured with
an approved lashing net or tarp.
!
CAUTION
Observe the data on the maximum
load-bearing capacity of the individu-
al lashing points
(\2
page 629).
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.
iIf your vehicle has load rails in the
floor, you should position locking
rods immediately in front of and be-
hind the load. The locking rods ab-
sorb possible shifting forces directly.

Warning
G
If you tension the lashing straps between
the side walls or between a side wall and
the load compartment floor, the permissi-
ble load for the lashing rails, lashing
points or lashing eyes could be exceeded
in the event of strong braking, sudden
changes of direction or an accident.The load would no longer be secured,
which could result in serious injuries
caused by the load slipping.
Continued
Warning (Continued)
G
For this reason, do not tension a lashing
strap between the side walls or between a
side wall and the load compartment floor.
Only locking bars or rods may be installed
between the load rails near the side walls. Observe the operating instructions issued
by the locking bar or locking rod manufac-
turer.
iSecuring loads to the load compart-
ment floor is only recommended for
lightweight loads and should be rein-
forced by using anti-slip mats.Warning
G
Before releasing lashing straps, make
sure that the load is stable and would not
tip over even without being lashed down.
Otherwise, you or others could be injured
by a moving load.
