WARNING   WARNING:  Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions when you are fitting a roof rack.
WARNING   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.

Note:   Do not place loads on the roof rack if your vehicle is not equipped with the Electronic Stability Control system.
The maximum recommended load, evenly distributed on the roof rack is:
  • 50 kg (110 lb)
For correct roof rack system function, you must place loads directly on parallel crossbars affixed to the roof rack side rails. When using the roof rack system, we recommend you use Ford Genuine Accessory crossbars designed specifically for your vehicle.
Note:   Never place loads directly on the roof panel. The roof panel is not designed to directly carry a load.
 Make sure that you securely fasten the load. Check the tightness of the load before driving and at each fuel stop.
Note:   The fuel consumption of your vehicle increases when using a roof rack. You may also experience different driving characteristics.
