Roof load
The cargo on the roof must be securely attached.
Handling characteristics change when cargo is
transported .
The permissible roof load for your vehicle is
165 lbs (7 5 kg). The roof load is the t otal of the
weight of the roof rack, the attachments
and the
cargo you are carrying .

WARNING
- The cargo must be secu rely attached on the
roof rack, otherwise you risk an accide nt.
- Distribute the load as evenly as possible and
do not make the roof rack wider than the
maximum pe rmitted.

the permiss ible roof load, the perm iss ible
axle loads a nd the permissib le overa ll
weight of your vehicle - risk of an accident.
- Mount the attachments
to the roof rack only
after you have placed the roof rack on the
vehicle.
- Consider that when transpo rting heavy ob-
jects or one wit h a large surface, the han-
dling characteristics change due to shift in
the center of gravity or the greater surface
exposed to the wind. So adapt your driving
and your speed to prevailing conditions. We
recommend that you do not dr ive faster
than 80 mph (130 km/h) .
