You
can adjust the crossrails
to
handle loads
of
various
sizes. Just loosen the slider knobs at each end
of
the
crossrail and move them
to
where you want them. Make
sure both sides
of
the crossrails are even, then tighten
the slider knobs.
Be
sure the cargo
is
properly loaded. Follow
these guidelines:
0
Carrying
small,
heavy loads
on
the roof is
not recommended.
Tie the
load
to
the tie down (at either end
of
the crossrails). When loading cargo directly on
the roof panel, use the crossrails to keep the load
from shifting.
If
you
need
to
carry long items, move
the
crossrails
as far apart
as
possible.
Tie
the load
to
the tie downs
provided. Also tie the load
to
the bumpers.
Do
not
tie
the load
so
tightly that the crossrails or side rails
are damaged.
NOTICE:
Loading cargo that weighs more than
200
lbs.
(91
kg) on the luggage carrier may damage your
vehicle. When you carry large things, never let
them hang over the rear or the sides of your
vehicle. When loading cargo
on
the roof panel, be
sure it rests on the slats and does not scratch
or
damage the vehicle.
Put the cargo against the side rails and fasten it
securely to the luggage carrier. Put the main
weight as
far
forward
as
you can and move the
rear crossrail forward
as
far as possible
to
keep
the load from shifting.
Don’t exceed
the
maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see “Loading Your Vehicle’’ in
the Index.
To
prevent damage or
loss
of
cargo as you’re driving,
check now and then to make sure the luggage carrier and
cargo are still securely fastened.
