Traffic regulations must be observed when loading
cargo, if the cargo extrudes the loadspace, appropriate
warning measures must be taken to warn other road

due to the type of cargo loaded, be sure to
close all windows during driving, select the

vehicle.
When luggage carried in the boot, always ensure heavy
items are placed as low and as far forward as possible, so
