Land Rover Defender: Load carrying
LOAD CARRYING
Never allow passengers to travel in the
loadspace under any circumstances. All
vehicle occupants should be seated
correctly and should wear a seat belt at
all times when the vehicle is in motion.
Failure to do so can lead to serious
injury or death in the event of an
accident.
All items carried in the vehicle should
be properly secured. An accident,
sudden braking, or change of direction
can cause loose items to move. Loose
objects in the vehicle can cause serious
injury or death.
Do not stand on the checker finishers. The
checker finishers are not load-bearing and
should not be stood on or used to load
the roof. Placing undue load on the
checker finishers may damage the vehicle.
LOADSPACE COVER
Never place objects on top of the
loadspace cover. During an accident or
sudden maneuver, loose objects could
cause serious injury or death.
Remove the loadspace cover before
moving the seats. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the loadspace cover.

All items carried in the loadspace should
