Load carriers
Load carriers are available as Volvo accessories. Observe the following points when in use:
●
To avoid damaging your vehicle and to achieve maximum safety when driving, we recommend using
the load carriers that Volvo has developed especially for your vehicle.
●
Volvo-approved removable roof racks are designed to carry the maximum allowable roof load for this
vehicle: 220 lbs (100 kg). For Non-Volvo roof racks, check the manufacturer's weight limits for the rack.
●
Never exceed the rack manufacturer's weigh limits and never exceed the maximum rated roof load of
220 lbs (100 kg).
●
Avoid single-point loads. Distribute loads evenly.
●
Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the load.
●
Secure the cargo correctly with appropriate tie-down equipment.
