Frame Hooks; Front Bumper Cover - Suzuki 2009 SX4 Owner's Handbook Manual

• Secure the front and rear ends of long
items - such as wood panels, surfboards
and so forth - to both the front and rear
of the vehicle. You should protect the
painted surfaces of the vehicle from
scuffing caused by tie-down ropes.
• Check periodically to make sure the roof
rack is securely installed and free from
damage.
• For vehicles with roof rack anchors,
make sure the anchors are covered with
the caps when not in use.
A
WARNING
• Abrupt maneuvers or failure to
properly secure cargo can allow the
cargo to fly off the vehicle and hit
others, causing personal injury or
property damage.
• Mount cargo securely and avoid
abrupt maneuvers such as "jack-
rabbit" starts, sharp turns, fast cor-
nering and sudden braking. Check
periodically to make sure that
cargo is securely fastened.
• Large, bulky, long, or flat items can
affect vehicle aerodynamics or be
caught by the wind, and can reduce
vehicle control resulting in an acci-
dent and personal injury. Drive cau-
tiously at a safely reduced speed
when carrying this type of cargo.
