LOADING AND STORAGE
Roof load
Load retaining eyelets
The load retaining eyelets are used to fasten
straps in order to anchor items in the cargo area.
Loading - bag holder
The load carriers recommended for roof loads
are the ones developed by Volvo. This is in order
to avoid damage to the car and in order to
achieve the maximum possible safety during a
journey.
The bag holders keep carrier bags in place and
prevent them from overturning and spreading
their contents around the cargo area. The holder
has a capacity of max. 3 kg.
Carefully follow the installation instructions sup-
plied with the carriers.
Load carriers must always be mounted on
the aluminium rail.
•
Check periodically that the load carriers and
load are properly secured. Lash the load
securely with retaining straps.
•
Distribute the load evenly over the load carri-
ers. Put the heaviest objects at the bottom.
•
•
The size of the area exposed to the wind, and
therefore fuel consumption, increase with the
size of the load.
WARNING
