Mounting lashing points for load rails*
1 Locking mechanism
̈ To install: slide the lashing eye
through a recess in the load rail close
to the load until locking mechanism 1
in the recess engages.
̈ Check whether the lashing eye is firmly
in place.
̈ To remove: pull locking mechanism 1
upward and pull the lashing eye
through a recess towards the locking
mechanism and out of the load rail.
i
Securing loads to the load compart-
ment floor is only recommended for
lightweight loads and should be rein-
forced by using anti-slip mats.
Warning
G
Before releasing lashing straps, make sure
that the load is stable and would not tip over
even without being lashed down.
Otherwise, you or others could be injured by
a moving load.
i
When you pull locking mechanism 1
out of the recess, the lashing eye is
able to move within the lashing rail or
load rail. Make sure that locking
mechanism 1 is always engaged in a
recess.
Warning
G
If the lashing eye is not firmly anchored in
the load rail, the lashing eye may slip or snap
out of the load rail in the event of sudden
braking or an accident.
The load would no longer be secured, which
could result in serious injuries caused by the
load slipping.
For this reason, always check that the lash-
ing eye is firmly in place whenever you in-
stall it.
