Roof Racks and Load Carriers - Van

WARNING: When loading the roof racks, we recommend you evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with higher centers of gravity, may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Take extra precautions, such as slower speeds and increased stopping distance, when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
WARNING

WARNING: Do not exceed the maximum front and rear axle loads for your vehicle.
