Chance knocks or sudden
braking can cause sudden
shifts of the load which could jeopar-
dise the safety of the driver and the
passengers: before you start off make
sure the load is firmly secured by us-
ing the hooks built into the floor for
that purpose fig.111. Use metal ca-
bles, ropes or straps strong enough to
support the weight of the load to be
fixed.
WARNING
Even if the vehicle is station-
ary on a steep hill or side-
ways incline, goods not properly se-
cured could fall out when the back or
side doors are opened.
WARNING
Observe the enforced rules if
you need to carry a spare can
of petrol. Only use a homologated can
and secure it to the load anchoring
eyebolts.
Even given these precautions, the risk
of fire in the event of an accident is in-
creased.
WARNING
In addition to these general precautions,
some simple measures could enhance dri-
ving safety, comfort and the length of the
vehicle’s life:
❒distribute the load evenly over the
floor: if you need to concentrate it all
in one point choose the part between
the axles;
❒remember that the lower the load is,
the lower the vehicle centre of gravity
will be, contributing to a safe drive; you
should therefore always position the
heavier goods at the bottom;
❒finally, remember that the way in which
the vehicle moves is influenced by the
weight being carried. In particular, stop-
ping distance lengthens particularly at
high speed.

rectly to prevent the wheel
from coming free in motion.

set of bolts if you want to change the type
of wheels fitted (alloy rims instead of steel

change the entire set of fastening bolts
with another set of suitably sized bolts.
You should keep the bolts and spare
wheel in case you decide to use the orig-
inal type of wheel later on.
