Avoid single-point loads. Distribute the load evenly.

Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the load.

Observe that the center of gravity and handling are influenced by load weight.

Increasing load size increases wind resistance and, thus, adversely affects fuel economy.

Anchor the cargo correctly with appropriate cords.

Drive carefully. Avoid rapid starts, fast cornering and hard braking.

Max. roof load is 220 lbs. (100 kg).

WARNING! An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause the accelerator pedal to catch. Check that the
movement of the accelerator pedal is not impeded. Not more than one protective floor covering may be
used at one time.
