Roof loads and load carriers
Volvo-developed load carriers are recom-
mended for carrying loads on the roof of the
vehicle.
Volvo load carriers are specially designed to
help prevent damage to your vehicle and help
ensure maximum safety while driving. Volvo
load carriers are available from authorized
Volvo retailers.
Carefully follow the installation instructions
provided with the load carriers.
Distribute the load evenly throughout the
•
load carriers. Place heavier cargo at the
bottom of the load.
Check periodically to ensure that the load
•
carriers and load are properly secured.
Secure the load firmly using tie straps or
similar.
If the load is longer than the vehicle, such
•
as a canoe or kayak, attach the towing
eyelet in its front outlet and secure the tie
straps in it.
The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel
•
consumption increase with the size of the
load.
Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid acceleration,
•
hard braking and fast cornering.
WARNING
The vehicle's center of gravity and driving
characteristics are altered by roof loads.
Follow the vehicle's specifications regar-
ding weights and maximum permitted
load.
