Load Carrying
ROOF RACKS
WARNING
A range of roof rack systems is available as
Land Rover approved accessories. For further
information about roof rack systems approved
for use with your vehicle, and advice as to
which system would suit your requirements
best, please consult your Land Rover retailer.
To avoid the risk of personal injury or death,
DO NOT permit children or any other person to
travel on the roof rack (or any access ladder)
whilst the vehicle is in motion.
The maximum roof rack load must NEVER
exceed that given in ‘VEHICLE WEIGHTS’,
page 245.
WARNING
•
It is recommended that Land Rover
approved load-carrying accessories are
used wherever possible.
•
•
Only carry loads on cross-rails - do not
attach loads directly to the roof bars.
Use webbing straps (preferably with a
ratchet clamp) to secure loads to
cross-rails - do not use elastic or ‘bungee’
straps.
•
•
•
All loads should be evenly distributed and
secured within the periphery of the rack.
Position the roof rack and load so that it
does not impede the opening of a sunroof.
Any roof load will reduce the stability of
the vehicle, particularly when cornering
and encountering crosswinds.
•
•
Driving off-road with a loaded roof rack is
not recommended. If it is necessary to
stow luggage on a roof rack while driving
off-road, all loads MUST be removed
before traversing side slopes
Check to ensure that the roof rack and load
are secure after 30 miles (50 km) of any
journey.
