Notes on loading the vehicle
z
Heavy objects in the luggage
compartment should be placed against
the engaged rear seat backrests
3
or, if
the rear seat backrests are folded down,
against the front seat backrests. If
objects are to be stacked, the heavier
objects should be placed at the bottom.
Unsecured objects in the luggage
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 lashing eyes –
see page 102. If heavy loads slip when
the vehicle is braked heavily or driven
around a bend, the handling of the
vehicle may change.
z
Estate: mount the safety net
3
when
transporting objects in the luggage
compartment – see page 99.
z
Estate: close the luggage compartment
cover so the rear window does not reflect
the objects.
z
If the backrests are not folded down
when transporting objects in the
luggage compartment, they must be
engaged in their upright position
3
–
see pages 91, 93, 96.
z
Do not allow the load to protrude above
the upper edge of the rear seat
backrests, or above the upper edge of
the front seat backrests if the rear seat
backrests
3
are folded down.
z
Astra TwinTop: note the maximum
loading height when the roof is open.
See page 103, Fig. 17973 T.
z
The warning triangle
3
and first-aid kit
(
cushion)

must always be freely
accessible.
z
Do not place any objects in front of the
rear window or on the instrument panel.
They are reflected in the glass, obstruct
the driver’s view and will be thrown
through the vehicle, for instance in the
event of heavy braking.
z
The load must not hinder handbrake
operation or gearshifting or impair the
driver in any way.
