Roof rack (if equipped)
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof or a panorama sunroof,
be sure not to position luggage
compartment onto the sunroof
rack in such a way that it could
interfere with sunroof or a panora-
ma sunroof operation.
• When carrying luggage com-
partment on the roof rack, take
the necessary precautions to
make sure the luggage compart-
ment does not damage the roof
of the vehicle.
• When carrying large objects on
the roof rack, make sure they do
not exceed the overall roof
length or width.

• The following specification is
the maximum weight that can
be loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly
as possible onto the roof rack
and secure the load firmly.
Loading luggage compart-
ment or luggage in excess of

WARNING
ROOF 100 kg (220 lbs.)
RACK EVENLY DISTRIBUTED
• The vehicle centre of gravity
will be higher when items are
loaded onto the roof rack.
Avoid sudden starts, braking,
sharp turns, abrupt manoeu-
vres or high speeds that may
result in loss of vehicle con-
trol or rollover resulting in an
accident.
• Always drive slowly and turn
corners carefully when carry-
ing items on the roof rack.
Severe wind updrafts, caused
by passing vehicles or from
natural causes, can cause
sudden upward pressure on
items loaded on the roof rack.
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 rack and cause
damage to your vehicle or oth-
ers around you.
• To prevent damage or loss of
luggage compartment whilst
driving, check frequently before
or whilst driving to make sure
the items on the roof rack are
securely fastened.
