Driver Controls -> LUGGAGE RACK for Your Ford Focus 4 Door Second Generation (2004-2010)

Driver Controls  
LUGGAGE RACK (IF EQUIPPED)  
The maximum recommended load is  
220 lbs (100 kg) on the luggage  
rack structure. The load must be  
placed directly on the dealer  
installed cross-bars (if equipped)  
and luggage rack. The vehicle’s roof  
panel is not designed to carry a  
load.  
When loading the luggage rack, it is recommended to evenly distribute  
the load, as well as maintain a low center of gravity. Ensure that the load  
is securely fastened.  
Your fuel economy will decrease when you drive with items on the  
luggage rack. When the rack is loaded, check the tightness of the rear  
adjusting thumbwheel before driving and at each refueling stop.  
Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle  
differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as  
slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken when  
driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
