Knowing your vehicle
ROOF RACK (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
(Continued)
The  vehicle  center  of  gravity
will be  higher when  items are
loaded   onto   the   roof  rack.
Avoid  sudden starts,  braking,
sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers
or high speeds that may result
in  loss  of  vehicle  control  or
rollover causing an accident.
When  carrying  cargo  on  the
roof  rack, take  the necessary
precautions to  make sure  the
cargo  does  not   damage  the
roof of the vehicle.
When  carrying  large   objects
on  the  roof  rack,  make  sure
they do not exceed the overall
roof length or width.

Always  drive  slowly  and  turn
corners carefully when carrying
items on the roof  rack.  Severe
wind updrafts, caused by pass-
ing vehicles  or natural causes,
can   cause    sudden   upward
pressure  on  items  loaded  on
the roof rack. This is especially
true  when  carrying  large,  flat
items such  as wood  panels or
mattresses.  This  could  cause
the items to fall off the roof rack
and cause damage to your vehi-
cle or others around you.

Kia dealer.
WARNING
The  following  specification  is
the maximum  weight  that can
be  loaded onto  the  roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly as
possible  across the  roof  rack
and secure the load firmly.

roof,  be sure  not  to  position  cargo
onto the roof rack in such a way that

I think it is good and helpful thanks

The manual and the car is good. Your web site is like your dealers. Intrustive and obnoxious. Keep it simple and butt out of my life.
