ROOF
LOAD
EVENLY DISTRIBUTED
Loading cargo or luggage in excess of
the specified weight limit on the roof
rack may damage your vehicle.
僅 The vehicle center of gravity will be
higher when items are loaded on the
roof rack. Avoid sudden starts, brak -
ing, sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers or
high speeds that may result in loss of
vehicle control or rollover resulting in
an accident.
僅 Always drive slowly and turn corners
carefully when carrying 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 car -
rying 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 vehi -
cle or others around you.
僅 To prevent damage or loss of cargo,
FREQUENTLY stop to ensure the
cargo is securely fastened to the roof
rack.
