Load anchors
(Sportwagon)
Four fold down load anchors are
provided in the cargo area.
Use these to secure heavy items.
To use the anchor points:
1. Fold the metal loops to the
vertical position.
2. Place the cargo centrally
between the four anchor points.
3. Use only approved tie-down
straps to secure cargo.
4. Fold the metal loops down fl at
when not in use.
Always make sure the load is
secure and will not move during
heavy braking or a collision.
Unsecured loads increase the
risk of injury during heavy
braking, sudden avoidance
manoeuvres or a collision.
Use only approved tie-down
straps and convenience net to
secure your loads. Do not use
elasticised straps.
Never attach more than one
tie-down strap to any single
tie-down anchor.
Protect the tie-down straps from
sharp edges of the load. Replace
them if they begin to wear.
Make sure the back seat is
locked in the upright position
whenever carrying heavy loads.
This is a basic requirement
for protection against load
displacement in the event of
sudden braking or a collision.
Warning
The rear seat in the upright
position provides greater protection
against load displacement.
The driving characteristics of the
vehicle can be affected because
the centre of gravity is altered
when there is a load in the cargo
area. Match your speed and
driving style according to how the
vehicle is loaded.
Make sure that the rear axle load
of the vehicle is not exceeded. See
Axle loads on page 325 .
The maximum load for the
tie-down system is 80 kg single
mass when used in conjunction
with the Holden approved straps.
That is, if an object weighs 80 kg,
only one object can be held by the
tie-down system.
Do not use when there are visible
signs of wear or damage.
Place loads as low down and as
far forward in the cargo area as
possible. That is, against the back
seat or cargo barrier if equipped.
