WARNING
(Continued)
•The vehicle centre of gravity will
be higher when items are loaded
onto the roof rack. Avoid sudden
starts, braking, sharp turns, abrupt
manoeuvres or high speeds that
may result in loss of vehicle control
or rollover resulting in an accident.
•Always drive slowly and turn cor
ners carefully when carrying items
on the roof rack. Severe wind
updrafts, caused by passing vehi
cles or natural causes, can cause
sudden upward pressure on items
loaded on the roof rack. This is
especially true when carrying
large, flat items such as wood pan
els or mattresses. This could
cause the items to fall off the roof
rack and cause damage to your
vehicle or others around you.
•To prevent damage or loss of
cargo whilst driving, check fre
quently before or whilst driving to
make sure the items on the roof
rack are securely fastened.
