The roof rack can be used to conveniently
carry additional cargo, or bulky items, such as
bicycles, which are better carried outside than
inside. The roof rack has side rails attached
to the roof. Consult your authorised repairer
for details and regulations on driving with a
loaded roof rack.
Ensure that the load is evenly distributed over
ad t ad to o o o o ad t ad t
the side or cross rails. The roof surface must
not be loaded.
A loaded luggage carrier alters the vehicle's
centre of gravity. Drive carefully when in cross-
winds and do not drive at high speeds.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you
are driving, check frequently to make sure
your cargo are securely fastened.
