Volkswagen Transporter T4, Руководство пользователя, Страница: 19 / 66

Roof rack
Roof loads raise the centre of mass of the vehicle and lead to a high dynamic axle-load shift and tilting of the vehicle on
bumpy lanes and in bends. The road behaviour is considerably impaired. For this reason, roof loads should be avoided, if
possible.
Depending on load distribution, at least 2 base carriers are required which are to be mounted in the pillar area, if possible.
Roof loads (only for standard vehicles):
Vehicles with high-space roof 100 kg
Vehicles with standard roof 100 kg
Double cab 75 kg
Driver™s cab 50 kg
Pop-up top 50 kg
Rear luggage carriers/rear ladders
The rear luggage carrier or the rear ladder must be executed in such a way, that, after having been mounted, no vertical
static or dynamic loads are working on the tailboard or rear double-wing doors. In combination with the currently available
hatchback lid hinges, rear luggage carriers (for max. 4 bicycles, equivalent to a weight of 75 kg) must not be propped up
on the rear bumpers. Since the beginning of the great product upgrading (January 1996), rear luggage carriers
may no
longer
be propped up on the rear bumpers.
Load of tailboards/rear double-wing doors
Since the beginning of series production of the T4 (1990), the tailboard is provided with the shown hatchback lid hinge
(figure 1).
