limit on the roof rack may
damage your vehicle.

•
The vehicle centre of gravity will
be higher when items are
loaded onto the roof rack.
Avoid sudden starts, braking,
sharp turns, abrupt manoeu-
vres or high speeds that may
result in loss of vehicle control
or rollover resulting in an acci-
dent.
•
Always drive slowly and turn
corners carefully when carry-
ing items on the roof rack.
Severe wind updrafts, caused
by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden
upward pressure on items
loaded on the roof rack. This
is especially true when carry-
ing large, flat items such as
wood panels or mattresses.
This could cause the items to
fall off the roof rack and cause
damage to your vehicle or
others around you.
•
To prevent damage or loss of
cargo whilst driving, check fre-
quently before or whilst driving
to make sure the items on the
roof rack are securely fastened.
