Nissan Qashqai e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
5.15.10. Roof rail (where fitted)
Luggage can be carried on the roof by securing crossbars to the roof rail. Follow all crossbar manufacturers instructions for installing and use of the crossbars. The roof rail is designed to carry loads (luggage plus crossbars) below 75 kg (165 lb). Overloading may cause damage to the vehicle.
Always install the cross bars onto the roof side rails before loading cargo of any kind. Loading cargo directly onto the roof side rails or the vehicle’s roof may cause vehicle damage.
Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is loaded at or near the cargo carrying capacity, especially if the significant portion of that load is carried on the cross bars/roof rack.
Do not exceed the maximum gross vehicle weight. This is the combined weight of the vehicle, driver, passengers, cargo, and load on the towing coupling device (where fitted). You can find the maximum gross vehicle weight on the vehicle identification label (see
).Heavy loading of the cross bars/roof rack has the potential to affect the vehicle stability and handling during sudden or unusual handling manoeuvres.
Roof rack load should be evenly distributed.
Do not exceed maximum roof rack cross bar load capacity.
Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
Use care when placing or removing items from the roof rack. If you cannot comfortably lift the items onto the roof rack from the ground, use a ladder or stool.
