Load carriers (accessory)

Positioning load carriers
If wing-shaped load carriers are used, make
sure that they are installed on the roof rails
with the rounded edge forward. Load carriers
of this type are identical and can be placed
anywhere along the roof rails.
When not in use, we recommend that the
front load carrier be placed approximately
2 inches (5 cm) in front of the center roof rail
anchorage point and the rear load carrier
approximately 1.5 inches (3.5 cm) in front of
the rear rail anchorage. This will help to
reduce wind noise.
Installing load carriers
Make sure that the load carriers are pressed
firmly out against the roof rail and securely
tightened place. Check regularly that any load
carriers are securely in place.

WARNING
Loads carried on the vehicle's roof should
not exceed 220 lbs (100 kg), including the
weight of the load carriers and any other
load carrying equipment (ski boxes, bicy-
cle racks, etc.). Excessive loads on the
roof can adversely affect the handling and
roadholding characteristics of the vehicle.
