Roof Load; Load Retaining Eyelets; 12 V Electrical Socket - Cargo Area - Volvo V60 PLUG-IN HYBRID Owner's Manual

Roof load

The load carriers recommended for roof loads
are the ones developed by Volvo. This is in
order to avoid damage to the car and in order
to achieve the maximum possible safety dur-
ing a journey.
Carefully follow the installation instructions
supplied with the carriers.
•
Check periodically that the load carriers
and load are properly secured. Lash the
load securely with retaining straps.
•
Distribute the load evenly over the load
carriers. Put the heaviest objects at the
bottom.
•
The size of the area exposed to the wind,
and therefore fuel consumption, increase
with the size of the load.
•
Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,
heavy braking and hard cornering.
WARNING
The car's centre of gravity and driving cha-
racteristics are altered by roof loads.
For information about the maximum per-
mitted load on the roof, including load car-
riers and any space box, see Weights
(p. 399).
