Driving Information and Regulations

The vehicle speed should always be adjusted to current driving conditions such as road type, road conditions, wind conditions, traffic situations, and applicable speed limits, as well as the loaded items, but never exceed 10km/h(68mph) under any circumstances. Comply with applicable speed limits and other traffic regulations at all times.
Drive slowly through speed bumps at a maximum speed of 10km/h(6mph).
When transporting items in an upright position, the overall height of the vehicle will increase.
When loading items on the roof, the vehicle’s driving characteristics and braking performance may be varied, and it may become vulnerable to side winds.
Adjust driving speed according to road conditions and the items being transported. Especially when driving on rough roads.

Check and replace worn or damaged parts.
Make sure to clean and maintain the rack, especially during winter.
When removing the product from the vehicle, store all removed parts safely.
It is recommended to inspect the rack hardware at regular intervals to ensure fasteners are tight.
If the roof rack ever needs to be removed and reinstalled you will need to repeat the silicone sealant steps before reinstallation of the rack to roof hardware.
The powder coated finish on your rack uses a chemical compound to maintain UV stability for years to come.
Wash the roof rack at regular intervals to keep the load bar channels, drip rails and mounting components free of dirt and debris.
Dirt, mud and debris can cause noise and vibration.
Powder coatings can be damaged by harsh solvents. A number of commercial cleaning products can damage powder coat finishes.
Once the finish has become damaged, it is much more vulnerable to fading, staining and failure of the finish itself.
When harsh chemical cleaners are used on powder-coated surfaces, the life expectancy of the finish can decrease significantly.
All powder-coated products should be cleaned with either a soft cloth or a brush, using a solution of mild soap that has emulsifiers and warm water.
Exposed surfaces of powder-coated products should be cleaned regularly (on either a weekly or a bi-weekly schedule)
Do not use solvents or petroleum based cleaning products to clean the rack or any of its parts as they will permanently damage the finish.
