Using load carriers

Load carriers are available as Volvo accessories.

Observe the following points when in use:

• To avoid damaging your vehicle and to achieve maximum safety when driving, we recommend using the load carriers that Volvo has developed especially for your vehicle.

• Volvo-approved removable roof racks are designed to carry the maximum allowable roof load for this vehicle: 220 lbs (100 kg).

For non-Volvo roof racks, check the manufacturer's weight limits for the rack.

• Never exceed the rack manufacturer's weigh limits and never exceed the maximum rated roof load of 220 lbs (100 kg).

• Avoid single-point loads. Distribute loads evenly.

• Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the load.

• Secure the cargo correctly with appropriate tie-down equipment.

• Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured.

• Remember that the vehicle's center of gravity and handling change when you carry a load on the roof.

• The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel consumption will increase with the size of the load.

• Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid starts, fast cornering and hard braking.
