Load Carrying

(If Equipped)
132
Note: You must secure the loads carried in
the loadspace.
When transporting loads for example sand,
gravel, soil, use a cover to prevent items
falling out of your vehicle.
ROOF RACKS AND LOAD
CARRIERS
WARNINGS
When loading the roof racks, we
recommend you evenly distribute the
load, as well as maintain a low
center of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with
higher centers of gravity, may handle
differently than unloaded vehicles. Take
extra precautions, such as slower speeds
and increased stopping distance, when
driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
