Notes On Loading The Vehicle - Vauxhall VIVARO Owner's Manual

Notes on loading the vehicle

z Heavy objects in the load compartment
should be placed as far forward as
possible. If objects are to be stacked, the
heavier objects should be placed at the
bottom. Unsecured objects in the load
compartment would be thrown forward
with great force in the event of heavy
braking, for example.
z Secure heavy objects with lashing straps
3 attached to the lashing points. If
heavy loads slip when the vehicle is
braked heavily or driven around a bend,
the handling of the vehicle may change.

z The warning triangle 3 and first aid kit 3
should always be freely accessible.
z No objects should be placed on the
instrument panel. They are reflected in
the glass, obstruct the driver's view and
will be thrown through the vehicle in the
event of heavy braking, for example.
z No objects should be stored in any of the
airbag 3 inflation zones, as injuries may
be caused when the airbag is triggered.
z Bulky objects should not be transported
with the back doors open or ajar,
otherwise poisonous exhaust fumes may
enter the vehicle. In addition, the number
plate is only distinguishable and lit
correctly if the doors are closed.
Seats, interior
z Weights, payload and roof load - see
page 164.
z Driving with a roof load (see also page
95) increases the sensitivity of the vehicle
to cross-winds and has a detrimental
effect on vehicle handling owing to the
higher centre of gravity of the vehicle.
