The maximum permissible roof weight is
165 lb (75 kg). The roofweight is made up of
the weight of the roof rack system and the
weight of the object being transported.
When using a roof rack system which has a
lower load carrying capacity, you must not use
up the total maximum permissible load carry-
ing capacity specified above. Instead, you
should load the roof rack system only to the
maximum capacity specified by the manufac-
turer of the roof rack system.

to secure items to the roof rack can fail
during hard braking or in a collision and
