Notes on distributing the load within the vehicle
NOTE Risk of damage to the floor covering

Excessive point loading on the load compartment floor or on the load area can negatively affect the driving characteristics and could damage the floor covering.

Vehicles with rear-wheel drive:
distribute the load uniformly. When doing so, ensure that the overall centre of gravity of the load is always as low and close to the centre as possible and between the axles near the rear axle.
Vehicles with front-wheel drive:
distribute the load uniformly. When doing so, ensure that the overall centre of gravity of the load is always as low and close to the centre as possible and between the axles near the front axle.
Vehicles with all-wheel drive:
distribute the load uniformly. When doing so, ensure that the overall centre of gravity of the load is always as low and close to the centre as possible and between the axles.
For panel vans, buses and crewbuses:
  • always transport loads in the load compartment.

  • always place the load against the seat backrests of the rear bench seat.

  • move large and heavy loads as far towards the front of the vehicle as possible in the direction of travel against the rear bench seat. Stow loads flush with the rear bench seat.

  • always additionally secure the load with suitable load securing aids or lashing material.

  • the load must not protrude above the upper edge of the seat backrests.

  • transport loads behind seats that are not occupied.

  • if the rear bench seat is not occupied, insert the seat belts crosswise into the seat belt buckle of the opposite seat belt.
