GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Use only load securing straps that
meet your needs, and that prevent
the load from turning loose and
causing an accident.
Make sure that you secure all loose
items properly.
Place luggage and other loads as low
and as far forward as possible within
the luggage or loadspace.
Do not drive with the liftgate or rear
door open. Exhaust fumes may enter
your vehicle.
Do not exceed the maximum front
and rear axle loads for your vehicle.
See

ROOF RACKS AND LOAD
CARRIERS
WARNING
When loading the roof racks, we
recommend you evenly distribute the
load, as well as maintain a low
center of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with
higher centers of gravity, may handle
differently than unloaded vehicles. Take
extra precautions, such as slower speeds
and increased stopping distance, when
driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
The maximum recommended load, evenly
distributed on the crossbars, is:
•
20 kg.
