ROOF RACKS AND LOAD
CARRIERS - VEHICLES WITH:
INTEGRATED ROOF RACK
WARNINGS
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.
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible roof load.
WARNINGS
Do not exceed the maximum axle
load for your vehicle. See
Read and follow the manufacturer's
instructions when you are fitting a
roof rack.
Do not place loads directly on the
roof panel.
If you use a roof rack, the fuel
consumption of your vehicle will be
higher and you may experience
different driving characteristics.
For correct roof rack system function, you
must place loads directly on crossbars
fitted to the roof rack side rails.
Make sure that you securely fasten the
load. Check to make sure the straps are
secure before driving and at each fuel stop.
