Roof Racks and Load Carriers
 WARNING: Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when you are fitting a roof rack. Failure to take care may lead to a crash or personal injury. 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. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death. |
For correct roof rack system function, you must place loads directly on crossbars fitted to the roof rack side rails. When using the roof rack system, we recommend you use Ford genuine accessory crossbars designed specifically for your vehicle.
Make sure that you securely fasten the load. Check the tightness of the load before driving and at each fuel stop.
Note: If you use a roof rack, the fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher and you may experience different driving characteristics.
Note: Never place loads directly on the roof panel.
