Roof rack
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can load things on top of your vehicle.
Crossrails and fixing components to adapt the roof rack on your vehicle may be obtained from an authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof,
be sure not to position cargo
onto the roof rack in such a way that
it could interfere with sunroof operation.
CAUTION
• 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.
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.
Loading cargo or luggage above specification on the roof rack may damage your vehicle.
• 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.
• Always drive slowly and turn
corners carefully when carrying
items on the roof rack. Severe
wind updrafts, caused by passing
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 vehicle
or others around you.
• To prevent damage or loss of
cargo while driving, check frequently
before or while driving
to make sure the items on the
roof rack are securely fastened.
