On corners of a luggage carrier the special loops intended for fastening of the cargo holding grids * or tension belts which fix separate things are provided.

Luggage carrier on a roof

As an element of the additional equipment the special luggage carrier on a roof is offered. Adhere to the recommendations which are contained in the instruction for its installation.

When loading a luggage carrier on a cover height of the center of gravity of the car in this connection its dynamic qualities and controllability significantly change increases.

Therefore when loading you watch to exceeding luggage carrier loading capacity, and also admissible limits of full mass of the car and axial loading. You will find the relevant data in Specifications.

The freight stacked on the top luggage carrier has to be distributed on it evenly, with extreme compactness. Heavy things should be put down.

You watch that for raising of a cover of the hatch there was enough place, and the freight laid on a luggage carrier should not prevent to open a trunk lid.

The correct and reliable fastening of the laid freight will prevent its shift or falling from the car on the run (constituting danger to the cars moving behind you).

Vestie the car follows is balanced, avoiding breakthroughs from the place, sharp braking and recklessness on turns.

The baggage shipped upward increases the area of front resistance. As a result, fuel consumption increases and load of a body increases.
