Roof rack (for wagon)
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
We recommend to obtain the crossbars and fixing components needed to install
the roof rack on your vehicle from an
authorized Kia dealer.
✽NOTICE
• The crossbars (if equipped) should be placed in the proper load carrying
positions prior to placing items onto
the roof rack.
• If the vehicle is equipped with a sun-
roof, be sure not to position cargo onto
the roof rack in such a way that it
could
interfere with sunroof operation.
• When the roof rack is not being used to
carry cargo, the crossbars may need to
be repositioned if wind noise is detected.
WARNING
• The vehicle center of gravity will be higher when items are loaded
onto the roof. Avoid sudden
starts, braking, sharp turns,
abrupt maneuvers or high speeds
that may result in loss of vehicle
control or rollover resulting in anaccident.
• Always drive slowly and turn cor- ners carefully when carrying
items on the roof. Severe wind
updrafts, caused by passing
vehicles or natural causes, can
cause sudden upward pressure
on items loaded on the roof. This
is especially true when carrying
large, flat items such as wood
panels or mattresses. This could
cause the items to fall off the roof
and cause damage to your vehi-
cle or others around you.
• To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check fre-
quently before or while driving to
make sure the items on the roof
are securely fastened.
OJD042245
CAUTION
• When carrying cargo on the roof
rack, take the necessary precau-tions to make sure the cargo does
not damage the roof of the vehicle.
• When carrying large objects on the roof rack, make sure they donot exceed the overall roof lengthor width.
• When you are carrying cargo on the roof rack, do not operate thesunroof (if equipped).

rying large, flat items such as

• The following specification is the maximum weight that can be
loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly as
possible across the crossbars (if
equipped) and roof rack and
secure the load firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in
excess of the specified weight
limit on the roof rack may dam-
age your vehicle.
