pg. 103 Roof racks/Load carriers
Load carriers (accessory)
Load carriers are available as Volvo accessories. Observe the following points when in use:
● To avoid damaging your car and to achieve maximum safety when driving, we recommend using the
load carriers that Volvo has developed especially for your car.
● 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.
● Anchor the cargo correctly with appropriate tie-down equipment.
● Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured.
● Remember that the car's center of gravity and handling change when you carry a load on the roof.
● The car's wind resistance (and correspondingly, fuel consumption) will increase with the size of the
load.
● Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid starts, fast cornering and hard braking.

Attaching load carriers (models without rails)
