page 121, "Stowing
luggage".
In a col lision, the laws of physics mean that even sma ller items that
are loose in the vehicle will turn into heavy m issiles that can cause
serious injury. Items in the vehicle pick up kinetic energy which
varies with vehicle and the weight of the item. The vehicle speed is
the most significant factor.
For example, in a frontal collision at a speed of 30 mph (48 km/h),
the fo rces ac ting on a 10 lbs (4.5 kg) object are about
20 times the
normal weight of the item. This means that the weight of the item
wo uld suddenly be about 200 lbs (90 kg) . One can easily imagine the
injuries that an item of that weight flying freely through the
passenger compartment can cause in a col lision at a speed consid -
ered relatively low .

vehicle.
When should the roof rack be removed?
• Before going through an automatic car wash (it is best to ask the
car wash operator for advice).
• When not in use , to reduce fuel consumption, wind noise and to
guard against theft.
& WARNING
• Use of an unapproved roof rack or incorrect mounting of an
approved roof rack can cause the roof rack or the items attached
to it to fall off the roof onto the road.
• Objects falling from the roof of a vehicle can cause a crash and
personal injury.
• Only mount the system between the markings shown in
~ page 80, fig. 70.

trip and during a trip to make sure everything is securely tightened.
If necessary, retighten the mountings and check the entire system
from time to time . .,,

• After mounting a roof rack system, or when you transport
objects on the roof of your vehicle, the height of the vehicle is natu ­
