Starting and driving
Loading
Load carrier cover
Use the end of the torque wrench (see illus-
tration) or the ignition key to loosen or secure
the cover. Rotate ¼ turn.
Load carriers
To avoid damaging your car and to
achieve the best level of safety when
driving, we recommend that you only use
load carriers that Volvo has specially
designed for your car.
Check periodically that the load carriers
and load are properly secured. Lash the
load securely with retaining straps!
Distribute the load evenly over the load
carriers. Do not load lopsidedly! Place the
heaviest items at the bottom.
Remember that the car’s centre of gravity
and driving characteristics change if you
have a load on the roof.
Keep in mind that the car’s wind
resistance and fuel consumption increase
in proportion to the size of the load.
Drive gently! Avoid quick accelerations,
heavy braking and taking curves hard.
WARNING!
Load no more than 100 kg on the roof,
inclusive of the load carriers or space box.
The car’s centre of gravity and driving
characteristics are altered by roof loads.
