WARNING
• The following specification is
the maximum weight that can
be loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly
as possible onto the roof rack
and secure the load firmly.
ROOF 100 kg (220 lbs.)
RACK EVENLY DISTRIBUTED
Loading cargo or luggage in
excess of the specified weight
limit on the roof rack may
damage your vehicle.
(Continued)
• 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 carrying
items on the roof rack. Severe
wind updrafts, caused by pass-
ing vehicles or natural causes,
can cause sudden upward pres-
sure on items loaded on the
roof rack. This is especially true
when carrying large, flat items
such as wood panels or mat-
tresses. 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.
