• Regelmæssig kontrol: Before each trip and periodically during long journeys, check that all mounting hardware and cargo are securely fastened.
• Driving Considerations: Be aware that carrying items on your roof can affect your vehicle's handling, fuel economy, and overhead clearance. Drive cautiously, especially in windy conditions or when cornering.
