Securing cargo

Cargo tie-down rings

General notes

WARNING

The Top Tether anchorages cannot secure a load. If you secure a load with the Top Tether anchorages, the Top Tether anchorages could be pulled out during braking, abrupt changes in direction or in the event of an accident. The load could slip, tip over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle occupants. There is a risk of injury.

Only use the cargo tie down rings when securing a load.

Observe the following notes on securing loads:
• Secure the load using the cargo tie-down rings.

• Distribute the load on the cargo tie down rings evenly.

• Do not use elastic straps or nets to secure a load, as these are only intended as an anti-slip protection for light loads.

• Do not route tie-downs across sharp edges or corners.

• Pad sharp edges for protection.
