Instruments and Controls
Roof Luggage Rack
*
The roof loads shall not exceed the maximum
authorised load for the roof, or else they
may lead to an accident and cause the car
damaged.
Loose or improperly fixed loads may fall from
the roof luggage rack and lead to an accident
or cause people injury.
When heavy or large items are carried on the
roof luggage rack, the control ability of the
car will change due to the shift of the centre
of gravity as well as the increase of the frontal
area. Avoid emergency steering, emergency
acceleration or emergency braking when the
car is running.
Pay attention to the followings in using the roof luggage
rack:
• Fix loads towards the front of the roof as far as possible,
and distribute the roof load evenly.
• DO NOT use automatic car washes with loads on the
roof luggage rack.
• The overall height of the car is different when loads are
fitted to the roof luggage rack. Please ensure there is
adequate clearance when entering tunnels and garages.
• Ensure the loads carried by the roof luggage rack do
not impede operation of the sunroof, roof antenna of
tailgate opening.
• When installing or removing a piece of loading
equipment, follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the loading equipment.
Maximum Authorised Load for the Roof
The maximum authorised load for the roof is 50 kg, and
the roof load includes the weight of the roof loads and that
of the loading equipment installed.
Be sure to know about the weight of loads, and weigh them
when necessary. Never exceed the maximum authorised
load for the roof.
