ad is exceeded, this
may cause damage to the vehicle.The roof load is the total allowable load onthe roof (the weight of
the roof carrier plus
the weight of luggage placed on the roof car-rier).For the specific value, refer to “Maximumroof load” on page 12-5.
zWhen luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,please make sure to drive slowly and avoidexcessive maneuvers such as sudden brakingor quick turning.In addition, place the luggage on the carrierso that its weight is distributed evenly withthe heaviest items on the bottom. Do not loaditems that are wider than the roof carrier.The additional weight on the roof could raisethe vehicle’s centre of gravity and affectvehicle handling characteristics.As a result, driving errors or emergencymaneuvers could lead to a loss of control andresult in an accident.zBefore driving and after travelling a shortdistance, always check the load to make sureit is securely fastened
to the roof carrier.
Check periodically during your travel thatthe load remains secure.NOTE
