Driver Controls LUGGAGE RACK (IF EQUIPPED) The load must be placed directly on the luggage rack. The vehicle's roof panel is not designed to carry a load. When loading the luggage rack, it is recommended to evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a low center of gravity. Ensure that the load is securely fastened. The maximum load for the roof rack is 100 lb (44 kg). Your fuel economy will decrease when you drive with items on the luggage rack. When the rack is loaded, check the tightness of the load before driving and at each refueling stop. Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken when driving a heavily loaded vehicle. 125 2008 Edge (edg) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
