Tribute IMALA, Owner'S Handbook Manual

Page: 9 / 62

Loading Your Vehicle
All models manufactured by Tribute are of
a well balanced design, the most common
causes of poor stability include:
• Poor weight distribution of the weight inside
the vehicle.
• Incorrect tyre pressure (always adhere to
the tyre pressures stated in the chassis
manufacturers handbook. Always inflate
to the ‘fully laden’ condition).
Try to load heavy items down near the floor of
the vehicle, between the axles and as evenly
as possible side to side.
We would recommend that the table is stored
on the floor between the beds if there is no
dedicated storage position.
Where a dedicated storage position is
available, the table should be retained in this
position whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Roof Bars
Your vehicle may be fitted with roof side styling
bars, these bars are not suitable for carrying
any load. Should you wish to fit a roof rack
please contact your supplying dealer who will
be able to supply you with the relevant
information.
Please be advised that the maximum weight
that should be carried on the roof is 40kg
Please be aware that in certain
conditions the aluminium roof may
become very slippery, please take
extreme care should you choose
to walk on the vehicle roof.
Bicycle Carrier (If Fitted)
Tribute recommends that if a bicycle carrier
is fitted to your vehicle it should be capable of
carrying no more than two cycles.
Never exceed the maximum authorised weight
that should be specified on the carrier.
Tow Bars
Auto-Trail only recommends the fitting of
bespoke Witter tow-bars to our vehicles
(where applicable). These are the only
tow-bars that Auto-Trail have tested and
obtained European Type Approval for.
Should you choose to fit any other tow-bar
it is your responsibility to ensure that you do
not contravene any road traffic regulations.
