Roof Racks and Load Carriers - Vehicles Without: Panoramic Roof Opening Panel

WARNING   WARNING:  Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions when you are fitting a roof rack.
WARNING   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.

 

The maximum recommended load, evenly distributed on the roof rack is 50 kg (110 lb).

 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, 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
  • Pay attention to the carrier manufacturer's specifications.
  • Load the heaviest item closest to your vehicle.
