3.1 Roof racks, rear luggage racks / rear ladders

Roof racks
Roof loads increase the centre of gravity of the vehicle and lead to increase dynamic axle load displacement as well as vehicle tilting during cornering and where road surfaces are uneven. Road handling is considerably impaired. For this reason, roof loads should be avoided if at all possible.

Depending on the load distribution, at least 2 roof carriers are required, which should be mounted, if possible, in the pillar area.

On each side, there are 2 attachment points on the Caddy KR and 3 attachment points on the Caddy LR roof.

The roof load for the Caddy KR and LR is max. 100 kg.



Rear luggage carriers/rear ladders
The rear luggage carrier and rear ladder should be of a design that, when fitted, does not allow static or dynamic loads to affect the shock absorbers.
The load on the rear lid may not exceed max. 45 kg.
