Positioning the 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.
When not in use, we recommend that the front load carrier be placed approximately 2 inches (5 cm) in front of the center
roof rail anchorage point and the rear load carrier approximately 1.5 inches (3.5 cm) in front of the rear rail anchorage.
This will help to reduce wind noise.
NOTE: Volvo accessories mounted on these load carriers will require T-track mounting hardware for correct installation.
Please consult your Volvo retailer.
Installing the load carriers
Make sure that the load carrier is pressed firmly out against the roof rail. Screw the load carrier in place. Use the supplied
torque wrench and tighten to the mark on the wrench (corresponding to 6 Nm). See illustration.
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.
