Luggage Rack - Ford Focus 2006 Owner's Manual

LUGGAGE RACK (IF EQUIPPED)
The maximum recommended load is
220 lbs (100 kg) on the luggage
rack structure. The load must be
placed directly on the dealer
installed cross-bars (if equipped)
and luggage rack. The vehicle's roof
panel is not designed to carry a
load.
When loading the luggage rack, it is recommended to evenly distribute
the load, as well as maintain a low center of gravity. Ensure that the load
is securely fastened.
Your fuel economy will decrease when you drive with items on the
luggage rack. When the rack is loaded, check the tightness of the rear
adjusting thumbwheel before driving and at each refueling stop.
Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle
differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as
slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken when
driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
