Roof rack (if equipped)
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof or a panorama roof, be
sure not to position cargo onto
the roof rack in such a way that it
could interfere with sunroof or a
panorama roof operation.
NOTICE
• When carrying cargo on the roof
rack, take the necessary precau-
tions to make sure the cargo
does not damage the roof of the
vehicle.
• When carrying large objects on
the roof rack, make sure they do
not exceed the overall roof
length or width.

The vehicle center of gravity will
be higher when items are
loaded onto the roof rack.
Avoid sudden starts, braking,
sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers
or high speeds that may result
in loss of vehicle control or
rollover resulting in an accident.
Always drive slowly and turn
corners carefully when carry-
ing items on the roof rack.
Severe wind updrafts, caused
by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden
upward pressure on items
loaded on the roof rack. This
is especially true when carry-
ing large, flat items such as
wood panels or mattresses.
This could cause the items to
fall off the roof rack and cause
damage to your vehicle or
others around you.
To prevent damage or loss of
cargo while driving, check fre-
quently before or while driving
to make sure the items on the
roof rack are securely fastened.
