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.
Fix the cross bars on the rail markings.
Make sure that you securely fasten the
load. Check the tightness of the load
before driving and at each fuel stop.
Note: Never place loads directly on the roof
panel.
Towbar Carriers
When using a towbar attached carrier,
The maximum recommended load, evenly
distributed on the roof rack is 75 kg
(165 lb).
consider the following:
•
Do not exceed the maximum vertical
weight on the towball. This is the
weight of the carrier plus the weight of
the load. See Towbar Dimensions
(page 472).
Make sure the moonroof is closed before
fitting the cross bars and it remains closed.
•
•
Pay attention to the carrier
manufacturer's specifications.
If you are using a bike carrier, the
maximum number of allowed bikes is
three, with a maximum allowed weight
of 130 lb (60 kg).
•
Load the heaviest item closest to your
vehicle.
