Load carriers are available as Volvo accessories. Follow the installation instructions supplied with the load carriers. Observe the following points when using load carriers: To avoid damaging your car and to achieve maximum safety when driving, we recommend using the load carriers that Volvo has developed especially for your car. Volvo-approved removable roof racks are designed to carry the maximum allowable roof load for this vehicle: 165 lbs (75 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 165 lbs (75 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. Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured. Remember that the car's center of gravity and handling change when you carry a load on the roof. The car's wind resistance and fuel consumption will increase with the size of the load. Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid starts, fast cornering and hard braking. 158 06 Starting and driving Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)-option Introduction 1. BLIS camera 2. Indicator light 3.
