The payload is the difference
Driving with a roof load increases the
sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds
and has a detrimental effect on
vehicle handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity. Distribute the
load evenly and secure it properly
with retaining straps. Adjust the tyre
pressure and vehicle speed according
to the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than 120 km/h.
The permissible roof load is 50 kg. The
roof load is the combined weight of the
roof rack and the load.
