When loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier (if equipped)
Observe the following precautions:

Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front

P. 480)
●
Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof lug-
gage carrier.
●
Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of gravity of
the vehicle higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly and result in
death or serious injury.
●
If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the
vehicle now and then during the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its
place.
●
Do not exceed 85 kg (187.4 lb.) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
