In addition to these general precautions, some simple
measures could enhance driving safety, comfort and
the length of the vehicle’s life:
❒ distribute the load evenly over the load floor: if you
need to concentrate it all in one point choose the
part between the axles;
❒ remember that the lower the load is, the lower the
vehicle centre of gravity will be, contributing to a
safe drive; you should therefore always position the
heavier goods at the bottom;
❒ finally, remember that the way in which the vehicle
moves is influenced by the weight being carried. In
particular, stopping distance lengthens specially at
high speed.
