●
ward as possible.
Take into account the maximum authorised

the vehicle. Please observe the following
rules to minimise the risk of injury:
Place all objects inside the vehicle safe-

at all times while the vehicle is in motion.
Place the objects in such a way that they
●
never force any occupant of the vehicle to
sit in an incorrect position.

WARNING
The transport of heavy object changes ve-
hicle handling and increases braking dis-
tance. Heavy objects that are not properly
placed or secured may cause loss of con-
trol of the vehicle and thus severe injuries.
Never put too much load in the vehicle.
●
Both the carrying capacity as well as the
distribution of the load in the vehicle have
effects on the driving behaviour and brak-
ing ability.
When transporting heavy objects, the
●
driving behaviour of the vehicle varies due
to the displacement of the centre of gravi-
ty.
Always distribute the load in the vehicle
●
as evenly and horizontally as possible.
Always place heavy objects in the boot
●
before the rear axle and as far away from it
as possible.
Objects in the luggage compartment
●
that are unsecured could move suddenly
and modify the handling of the vehicle.
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
●
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
Accelerate with particular care and cau-
●
tion.
Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
●
Brake earlier than usual.
