WARNING
■
Load and distribution
●
Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle
weight rating.
Even if the total load of occupant's weight and the cargo load is less
●
than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improper
loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control which
may cause death or serious injury.

Roof luggage carrier precautions (if equipped)
To use the roof rails as a roof luggage carrier, you must fit the roof rails
with two or more genuine Toyota cross rails or their equivalent.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and precautions when installing
the cross rails or their equivalent.
When you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier, observe the following:
●
Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the
front and rear axles.
●
If loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the vehicle overall length
or width. (P. 572)
●
Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof
luggage carrier.
●
Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of grav-
ity of the vehicle higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,
sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of
control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly
and result in death or serious injury.
●
If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop
the vehicle now and then during the trip to make sure the cargo
remains in its place.
●
Do not exceed 154 lb. (70 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
■
Cross rail adjustment
Make sure the cross rails are locked securely by pushing forward and
rearward them.
Failure to do so may cause an accident or serious injury in the event of
emergency braking or a collision.
