LUGGAGE COVERS
WARNING: When loading the roof
racks, we recommend you evenly
distribute the load, as well as maintain
a low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles,
with higher centers of gravity, may
handle differently than unloaded
vehicles. Take extra precautions, such
as slower speeds and increased stopping
distance, when driving a heavily loaded
vehicle.
WARNING:Do not load any objects
on the shelf that may obstruct your vision
or strike occupants of the vehicle in the
case of a sudden stop or collision.
Removing the Cover
To remove the luggage cover:
The maximum recommended load, evenly
distributed on the roof rack is 50 kg
(110 lb).
Make sure that you securely fasten the
load. Check the tightness of the load
before driving and at each fuel stop.
Note: Never place loads directly on the roof
panel.
Towbar Carriers
When using a towbar attached carrier,
consider the following:
•
Do not exceed the maximum vertical
weight on the towball. This is the
weight of the carrier plus the weight of
the load. See Towbar Dimensions
