Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
5.18. Roof rack (where fitted)
Do not apply any load directly to the roof side rails. Cross bars must be installed before applying load/cargo/luggage to the roof of the vehicle. For additional information, it is recommended that you contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
The service load capacity for the roof side rails is 100 kg (221 lb), however do not exceed the accessory cross bars load capacity.
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.
Heavy loading of the cross bars has the potential to affect the vehicle stability and handling during sudden or unusual handling manoeuvres.
Roof rack cross bars should be evenly distributed.
Do not exceed maximum roof rack cross bars load.
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 a stool.
