Roof Rail (If Equipped) - Subaru 1998 Legacy Owner's Manual

Roof rail (if equipped)

CAUTION
D For cargo carrying purposes, the roof rail must be used to-
gether with a roof cross bar kit. The roof rail 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.
D When using the roof cross bar kit, make sure that the total car-
rying capacity of the roof cross bar kit and luggage does not ex-
ceed the maximum load limit. Overloading may cause damage to
the vehicle and create a safety hazard.
Luggage 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 chapter 7 for in-
formation on loading cargo into or onto your vehicle.
