INTRODUCTION
Read through all of the instructions before starting installation.
Notifications and warning texts are for your safety and to
minimise the risk of something breaking during installation.
Ensure that all tools stated in the instructions are available
before starting installation.
Certain steps in the instructions are only presented in the form
of images. Explanatory text is also given for more complicated
steps.
In the event of any problems with the instructions or the
accessory, contact your local Volvo dealer.
Note!
The ski box cannot be used on the V40 with rails.
Note!
Regularly check that the load carriers are secured properly on
the roof and that the ski box is tightly secured on the load
carriers. Be aware of the changed height and driving
characteristics of the car with load carriers and box. Always
secure loads. Check that the box is properly locked and the
key removed before travelling. The total roof load capacity of
the car must not be exceeded. See the car instruction book.
Highest permitted load = load carrier weight + box weight +
load weight. For safety the car should not be driven at top
speed. The speed should be adjusted to the load transported
and of course to appropriate speed limits. Remember the
following with the box mounted: -The increased height of the
car. - Wind noise may occur. These installation instructions
should be stored with the car handbook. Damage to the car
and surroundings may occur if the instructions are not
followed.
