Roof rail (if equipped)
1) Roof rack
Luggage can be carried on the roof after securing the roof rack to the roof rails.
When installing the roof rack on the roof rails, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
The roof rails are designed to carry loads (luggage and roof rack) of not more than 150 lbs (68 kg).
CAUTION
● When using the roof rack, make
sure that the total carrying load
of the roof rack and luggage does
not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg). Overloading
may cause damage to
the vehicle.
● For cargo carrying purposes, the roof rails must be used together with the roof rack and any appropriate carrying attachment that may be needed. The roof rails must never be used alone to carry cargo. Otherwise, damage to the roof or paint, or a dangerous road hazard due to loss of cargo could result.
NOTE
Remember that the vehicle’s center of
gravity is altered with the weight of the
load on the roof, thus affecting driving
characteristics.
Drive carefully. Avoid rapid starts, hard cornering and abrupt stops. Crosswind effects will be increased.
