ROOF RACKS AND LOAD CARRIERS WARNING

WARNING This net is not designed to restrain objects during a collision or heavy braking.

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. Themaximum recommended load, evenly distributed on the roof rack, is 100 lb (45 kg). Note: Never place loads directly on the roof panel. The roof panel is not designed to directly carry a load. You must place loads directly on the crossbars fitted to the roof rack side rails. When using the roof rack system, we recommend that you use genuine Ford accessory crossbars specifically designed for your vehicle. Make sure that you securely fasten the load. Check the tightness of the load before driving and at each fuel stop. LOAD LIMIT Vehicle Loading - with and without a Trailer This section guides you in the proper loading of your vehicle, trailer, or both. Keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating capability, with or without a trailer. Properly loading your vehicle provides maximum return of vehicle design performance.

E210596 The cargo net secures lightweight objects in the cargo area. Attach the net to the provided anchors. Do not put more than 50 lb (22 kg) in the net.
