Using load carriers
To avoid damaging the car and for maximum
possible safety while driving, the load carri-
ers designed by Volvo are recommended.
Carefully follow the mounting instructions
supplied with the carriers.
• Check periodically that the load carriers
and load are properly secured. Lash the
load securely with retaining straps.
• Distribute the load evenly over the load
carriers. Put the heaviest objects at the
bottom.
• The size of the area exposed to the wind,
and therefore fuel consumption, increase
with the size of the load.
• Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,
heavy braking and hard cornering.
Warning triangle
The warning triangle is fitted on the inside of
the boot lid with two clips.
Detach the warning triangle case by pull-
ing both of the snap latches outwards.
Take the warning triangle from the
case, fold out and assemble the two
loose sides.
Fold out the warning triangle’s support
legs.
Follow the regulations for the use of a warn-
ing triangle. Position the warning triangle in a
suitable place with regard to traffic.
Ensure the warning triangle and its case are
properly secured in the cargo area after use.
WARNING
The car’s centre of gravity and driving char-
acteristics are altered by roof loads.
Load no more than 100 kg on the roof, in-
cluding the load carriers and any roof box.
