On the floor, behind the front seats, a vertical
partition protects the driver and front passengers
against the risk of load movement.
Steel or glazed partitions separate the loading
area from the cab.
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.
The load must be evenly distributed in the loading area so as not to interfere
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.
Firmly secure all parts of the load using
the stowing rings on the floor of the
loading area.
For more information on the Interior
fittingsand 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 thrown. To do
this, use only retaining straps that conform to
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 empty space between
the components of the load.
To prevent the load sliding, there must not be
any empty 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.
