Subaru Forester. Roof tent (models with roof rails)

WARNING

Adding weight to the vehicle’s roof can adversely affect handling, braking, and rollover resistance. The vehicle must never be driven with a total roof rail load in excess of 176 lbs (80 kg).

CAUTION

The roof rail load limit for stationary vehicles (700 lbs (317 kg)) applies only when the vehicle is parked and the load is evenly distributed left/right and front/ rear and the roof crossbars and roof tent are tightly secured to the vehicle. If these conditions are not met, the load limit will be lower.

The maximum load limit of the roof crossbars must be obtained from the manufacturer or retailer of the roof rack. When driving the vehicle, the maximum roof rail load is 176 lbs (80 kg) or the crossbar load limit (whichever is lower).

Roof tents can only be used on vehicles originally equipped with roof rails. Otherwise, damage to the vehicle’s roof may occur.

On vehicles equipped with roof rails, roof tents may be used under certain conditions at your own risk.
