ROOF RACKS AND LOAD
CARRIERS (IF EQUIPPED) 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.
For correct roof rack system function, you
must place loads directly on crossbars
affixed to the roof rack side rails. When
using the roof rack system, we recommend
you use Ford Genuine Accessory crossbars
designed specifically for your vehicle.
Note: Do not use crossbars with a
moonroof. This will interfere with the
moonroof function. Using crossbars with a
moonroof may void your vehicle's warranty.
