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 load.
Observe that 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 a cord.
Drive carefully. Avoid rapid starts, fast cornering and hard braking.
Max. roof load is 220 lbs (100 kg) for removable rack mounted on drip rails.
Max. roof load is 70 Ibs (30 kg) for permanent rack mounted directly on roof.
