Subaru Forester: Loading your vehicle / 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).

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).

On vehicles equipped with roof rails, roof tents may be used under certain conditions at your own risk.
When driving the vehicle
The total weight on the roof rails, including
the roof crossbars and roof tent, must not
