You can adjust the crossrails to handle different size
loads. Just loosen the slider knobs at each end of the
crossrail and move them where you want them. Make
sure both sides of the crossrail 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.
0
Tie the load to the moveable tie down (two per each
side of the side rails). Use the crossrails only to keep
the load from sliding.
If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as possible. Tie the load to the moveable
tie downs provided in the side rails. 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. Load your cargo so that 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
I
weight as far forward as you can.
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.
