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 wall panels,
or push it against the side wall 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 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 current standards (DIN, for example).
For more information on putting straps in
place, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.
To prevent the load from sliding, there must
not be any empty spaces between the load
items and the vehicle wall panels.
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.
