Roof Rack System

Roof rack
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 an
authorised repairer for details and
regulations on driving with a loaded
roof rack.
Ensure that the load is evenly
distributed over 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 crosswinds 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.

Warning
If you try to carry something on
top of your vehicle that is longer
or wider than the roof rack, the
wind can catch it as you drive
along. This can cause you to lose
control. What you are carrying
could be torn off violently, and this
could cause you or other drivers
to have a collision, and of course
damage your vehicle.
Never carry something longer or
wider than the roof rack on top of
your vehicle.
A loaded roof rack changes the
vehicle's centre of gravity. Do not
drive at high speeds. Take
precautions when driving in
crosswinds.
Failure to follow this caution can
result in vehicle damage and
personal injury.
