WARNING
Risk of accident due to unlocked cur-

When driving with the curtain buckles un-
locked, the curtain and the curtain buckles
can flap around and injure other road
users. In addition, there is a risk of losing
the load.
► Before every trip, check that the cur-
tain and the curtain buckle are prop-
erly locked.
NOTE
Loose strap ends can cause material
damage!
Loose belt strap ends can cause damage
to the curtain and the lettering on the cur-
tain while driving.
► Tighten loose belt strap ends before
travel.
Using the curtain buckle, a curtain rope
can be guided as an anti-theft device, de-
pending on the equipment. It must be re-
moved beforehand to release the curtain
buckle.
Repeated operation of the tension straps
could cause loss of their original adjust-
ment. Re-tighten the tension straps as ne-
cessary to ensure that the side curtains are
securely closed.
