Starting and driving
Load on the roof
General
The load capacity is affected by extra acces-
sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,
load carriers, space box, the passengers’
combined weight etc. as well as towball load.
The load capacity of the car is reduced by the
number of passengers and their weight. For
information on permitted weights, see
page

Using load carriers (accessory)
To avoid damaging your car and to achieve
the best level of safety when driving, we
recommend that you only use load carriers
that Volvo has specially designed for your
car.
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
carriers. Do not load lopsidedly. Place the
heaviest items at the bottom.
Remember that the car’s centre of gravity
and driving characteristics change if you
have a load on the roof.
Keep in mind that the car’s wind
resistance and fuel consumption increase
in proportion to the size of the load.
Drive gently. Avoid quick accelerations,
heavy braking and taking curves hard.
Remove the load carrier when it is not in
use. This reduces wind resistance and
fuel consumption.
Fitting load carriers
Make sure the load carrier is placed in the
right direction (see the marking on the
decal under the cover).
WARNING!
The car’s driving characteristics change
depending on how heavily it is loaded and
how the load is distributed.
WARNING!
Load no more than 100 kg on the roof,
inclusive of the load carriers or space box.
The car’s centre of gravity and driving
characteristics are altered by roof loads.
