Top Rack Loading and Roof Drainage Molding
 |  |
When installing the roof rack, use brackets A. Brackets A are located under the roof water-diverting molding B.
Warning! Do not place luggage directly on the roof of the car. Use a special roof rack of the appropriate size. To install the rack correctly, use the instructions included with the rack you purchased.
Recommendations for loading the roof rack
Make sure that the luggage weight does not exceed the limit permitted by the manual. Loading luggage with a weight exceeding this limit may cause damage to the vehicle. The maximum permitted weight of cargo placed on the roof rack depends on the maximum permissible roof load (the weight of the roof rack itself plus the weight of the luggage placed).
When driving with luggage on the roof rack, try to drive slowly and avoid sudden maneuvers such as hard braking or sharp turns. Try to load the luggage so that the heaviest part is located closer to the rear edge of the trunk.
Do not transport items on the roof rack that are wider than the roof rack itself.
The additional load on the roof created by luggage, as well as its incorrect placement, leads to a shift in the center of gravity of the car and changes in some characteristics of the car. Therefore, failure to follow the recommendations given here may lead to loss of control over the car and a traffic accident.

Before you start driving, and also after a short period of time after the start of the trip, check and make sure that the luggage is securely fastened.
During your trip, periodically check that your luggage remains securely attached to the luggage rack.
Poorly secured luggage can fall out and damage your vehicle, other vehicles, or create a dangerous situation on the road.
Note: To improve fuel economy and reduce wind noise, remove the roof rack when not carrying luggage.
Remove the roof rack if you plan to wash your car in an automatic car wash.
Before installing the roof rack, make sure that the roof hatch and tailgate are securely closed (for vehicles equipped with a roof hatch and having a fifth door).
