CAUTION!
• Cross rails should remain equally spaced or parallel at
any luggage rack position for proper function. Noncom-
pliance could result in damage to the roof rack, cargo,
and vehicle.
• To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not
exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150 lbs
(68 kg). Always distribute loads as evenly as possible
and secure the load appropriately.
• Long loads, which extend over the windshield, such as
wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large frontal
area should be secured to both the front and rear of the
vehicle.
• Place a blanket or other protection between the surface of
the roof and the load.
• Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when
carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind
forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can
add sudden upward lift to loads. This is especially true
on large flat loads and may result in damage to the cargo
or your vehicle.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before driving your
vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the
vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in per-
sonal injury or property damage. Follow the Roof
Rack Cautions when carrying cargo on your roof
rack.
