DRIVING TIPS
Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained
for tilting and opening the glass sunroof.
Loading
Because roof-mounted luggage racks raise the
vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they
have a major effect on vehicle handling and
steering response.
When loading and driving, note the following:
▷
Do not exceed the approved roof/axle
weights and the approved gross vehicle
weight.
▷
Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for tilting and opening the glass sun-
roof.
▷
Distribute the roof load uniformly.
▷
The roof load should not extend past the
loading area.
▷
Always place the heaviest pieces on the
bottom.
▷
Secure the roof luggage firmly, for instance
using luggage straps.
▷
Do not let objects project into the swiveling
range of the trunk lid.
▷
Drive carefully. Do not drive off or brake
suddenly or take corners at speed.
