bracket under the roof molding.
5 Turn the tightening wheel to secure the load carrier in the attachment bracket.
6 Repeat this procedure for the other load carrier attachments.

attachment brackets on the roof of the car.

Reducing wind noise and improving fuel economy
To maximize fuel efficiency and minimize wind noise, Volvo recommends that load carriers be removed
when not in use.
WARNING!
Loads carried on the vehicle's roof should not exceed 220 lbs (100 kg), including the weight of the
load carriers and any other load carrying equipment (ski boxes, bicycle racks, etc). Excessive loads on
the roof can adversely affect the handling and roadholding characteristics of the vehicle.

Position of load carriers
Make sure that the wing-shaped load carriers are installed on the roof rails with the rounded edge
forward (see the inset illustration above). The load carriers are identical and can be placed anywhere
along the roof rails.
