Roof Racks and Load Carriers - Wagon, Vehicles With: Panoramic Roof Opening Panel
 WARNING: Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions when you are fitting a roof rack. 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 75 kg (165 lb).
Make sure the moonroof is closed before fitting the cross bars and it remains closed.
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.
Tow Bar Carriers
When using a tow bar attached carrier, consider the following:
- Do not exceed the maximum vertical load on the tow ball. This is the weight of the carrier plus the weight of the load. See Towbar Dimensions - Wagon.
- 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.
