Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained
for tilting and opening the glass sunroof.
Loading
Because roof-mounted luggage racks raise the
vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they
have a major effect on vehicle handling and
steering response.
When loading and driving, note the following:
▷ Do not exceed the approved roof/axle
weights and the approved gross vehicle
weight.
▷ Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for tilting and opening the glass sun-
roof.
▷ Distribute the roof load uniformly.
▷ The roof load should not extend past the
loading area.
▷ Always place the heaviest pieces on the
bottom.
▷ Secure the roof luggage firmly, for instance
using luggage straps.
▷ Do not let objects project into the swiveling
range of the trunk lid.
▷ Drive carefully. Do not drive off or brake
suddenly or take corners at speed.
