ROOF RACKS AND LOAD CARRIERS (IF EQUIPPED)

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.

Note: The maximum recommended load, evenly distributed on the

crossbars, is 100 pounds (45 kilograms).

Note: Never place loads directly on the roof panel. The roof panel is not

designed to directly carry a load.

For correct roof rack system function, you must place loads directly on

crossbars affixed to the roof rack side rails. 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.
