Obey applicable laws regarding flags
and signals on cargo extending beyond
the rear of your vehicle.
Be careful to account for the effects that
wind may have on the cargo and acces
-
sories whilst moving. Flexible cargo,
such as a mattress, can bend under
wind loads. Wind effects from driving,
passing vehicles, or natural causes can
cause sudden upward or downward
pressure, resulting in damage to the
items, damage to the cross members or
roof rack, damage to attachments, loss
of visibility, distraction, and loss of con

trol.
Park your vehicle on solid, level ground,
place it in P (Park) and set the parking
brake before loading and securing
items.
If your cargo is covered, be sure that the
cover is secure and will not blow off or
distract the driver.
Check the security of the attachments
after driving for a short distance, and
from time to time during your journey.
Securing accessories
Before installing an accessory such as a
cargo carrier or roof tent, make sure that
the item is compatible with your Kia's
roof racks.
Check the accessory manufacturer's
manual and online information. Do not
attempt to connect an accessory that
the manufacturer deems incompatible.
Contact the manufacturer or your Kia
dealer/service partner if you need addi
-
tional information.
Follow the accessory manufacturer's
instructions, warnings, and cautions in
addition to those above.
Roof tents
In addition, when using a roof tent:
僅 Be sure that the weight of occupants
does not exceed the load capacity of
the roof racks.
僅 Confirm the roof tent is securely fas
-
tened to the cross bars and roof rails
before using it.
僅 Never move the vehicle with occu
-
pants in a roof tent.
僅 Never leave the engine running with
occupants in a roof tent. Never run an
internal combustion engine (such as a
generator), gas stove, gas lantern, or
other device that burns fuel near an
occupied roof tent or awning. Those
emit carbon monoxide, which is
colourless, odourless, and deadly.
僅 Follow the roof tent manufacturer's
instructions, warnings, and cautions.
Failure to follow the instructions, warn
-
ings and cautions above, and those of
the accessory manufacturer, could result
in damage to your vehicle, to your cargo,
and to other road users. It could also
result in an accident and in serious injury
and death.
