Roof rails/racks
Roof racks are available as Volvo accessories. Observe the following points when in use:
• Avoid single-point loads. Distribute the load evenly.
• Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the load.
• Observe that the center of gravity and handling are influenced by load weight.
• Increasing load size increases wind resistance and thus adversely affects fuel economy.
• Anchor the cargo correctly with appropriate tie-down equipment.
• Drive carefully. Avoid rapid starts, fast cornering and hard braking.
• Max. roof load is 220 lbs (100 kg) when Volvo approved removable roof racks are attached to the points indicated in the illustration. For permanent roof racks, check the manufacturer's weight specifications.
• Wagons equipped with roof rails (certain models): The cross bars designed for use with roof rails are slightly curved. The curve should be toward the front of the car when the cross bars are used (see illustration). The
cross bars can be installed/removed by loosening/tightening the screws onthe clamps at each end of the bar forward until it can be lifted on/off the rail. If the cross bars are left on the car for extended periods but are not
being used, slide them to the rear-most attachment points to help minimize wind noise.
WARNING! An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause the accelerator pedal to catch. Check that the movement of the accelerator pedal is not impeded. Not more than one protective floor covering may be used at one
time.
