CAUTION
D For cargo carrying purposes, the roof rail must be used
together with a roof cross bar kit. The roof rail must never be

or a dangerous road hazard due to loss of cargo could result.
D When using the roof cross bar kit, make sure that the total
weight of the crossbars, carrying attachment and cargo does not
exceed the maximum load limit. Overloading may cause damage
to the vehicle and create a safety hazard.

The roof rail is not designed to carry cargo by itself.
Cargo can be carried on the roof after securing the roof cross bar kit to
the roof rail. When installing the roof cross bar kit on the roof rail, follow
the manufacturer’s instructions. When you carry cargo on the roof using
the roof cross bar kit, never exceed maximum load limit explained below.
You should also be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and front and rear Gross Axle Weight Rat-
ing (GAWR). See the “Loading your vehicle” section in this chapter for
information on loading cargo into or onto your vehicle.
