ROOF RACKS AND LOAD
CARRIERS
Roof rack
WARNINGS
If you use a roof rack, the fuel
consumption of your vehicle will be
higher and you may experience
different driving characteristics.
Read and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when you are fitting a
roof rack.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible roof load of 75
kilogrammes (165 pounds) (including
the roof rack).
Check the security of the roof rack and
tighten its fittings as follows:
•
before starting
•
after driving 50 kilometres (30 miles)
•
at 1 000 kilometres (600 miles)
intervals.
To minimise windnoise when the roof rack
is not in use, cross rails should be moved
rearwards and placed together. To
reduce fuel consumption, cross rails
should be removed when not in use.
Installing the crossbars
WARNING
Distribute the load evenly over the
loading area and keep the centre of
gravity as low as possible. Secure
the load well to prevent it from slipping.
Never place any loads directly onto the
roof surface.
CAUTION
Remove the crossbars before
entering an automatic car wash.
Note:
The side mounting tracks are
designed such that crossbars (for bicycle
carriers, ski carriers etc.) from the Ford
accessories range can be fitted.
Note:
Before installing the crossbars,
clean the side mounting tracks with water
and a sponge.
Note:
Position the crossbars as shown.
