Mitsubishi Outlander: Roof carrier precaution
CAUTION
(1) Make sure that the weight of the luggage does not exceed the allowable
roof load. If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this may cause damage to the
vehicle. The roof load is the total allowable load on the roof (the weight of the
roof carrier plus the weight of luggage placed on the roof carrier). For specific
figures, please refer to the ”Maximum roof load” on page 10–6.
(2) When luggage
is loaded onto the vehicle, please make sure to drive slowly and avoid excessive
maneuvers such as sudden braking or quick turning. In addition, place the luggage
on the carrier so that its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items
on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carrier. The additional
weight on the roof could heighten the vehicle’s centre of gravity and affect the
vehicle handling characteristics. As a result, driving errors or emergency maneuvers
could lead to a loss of control and result in an accident.
(3) Before driving
and after travelling a short distance, always check the load to make sure it is
securely fastened to the roof carrier. Check periodically during your travel that
the load remains secure. If the load is not secure, it could fall from the vehicle
and damage your vehicle, another vehicle or create road hazard.
NOTE
(1) To prevent wind noise or reduction in gas mileage, remove the roof carrier
when not in use.
(2) Before using an automatic car wash, check with the attendant
to determine if the roof carrier should be removed.
(3) Be sure that adequate
clearance is maintained for raising the sunroof (For vehicles with sunroof) and
tailgate (hatchback) when installing a roof carrier.
