The total weight of the roof rack and cargo must not
exceed the rated load of the roof (50 kg). In addition,
the gross weight of the fully loaded vehicle, including
driver, passengers, cargo and roof load, shall not exceed
the maximum gross vehicle mass listed in the
"

section of this manual.
─
When loading cargo on the roof, place the heaviest
items underneath and distribute the cargo as evenly
as possible.
─
Do not carry oversized items that may hang onto the
bumper or the side of the vehicle and obstruct the view.
─
Attach the front and rear ends of long items (e.g., board,
and surfboard) to the front and rear of the vehicle. Protect
the body paint of the vehicle from being scratched by the
rope pulled down.
─
Check the roof rack regularly to ensure it is securely
mounted without any damage.
─
For the vehicle equipped with a roof rack interface, make
sure that the interface is covered with a lid when it is not
used.
Warning
●
Rough driving or failure to secure the cargo properly
may cause the cargo to fall off the vehicle and hit
other objects, causing personal injury or property
damage.
●
Secure the cargo firmly and avoid rough driving
(e.g., sharp turns, turning too fast and sudden
braking). Check the cargo regularly to ensure it is
securely fastened.
●
Bulky, heavy, long or flat items may affect the
aerodynamics or wind protection of the vehicle and
reduce the controllability of the vehicle, leading to
accidents and personal injury. When carrying such
items, drive carefully by reducing to a safe speed.
