3. Position the crossbar along the correct side
rail. Make sure the letters on the crossbar
align with the matching letters on the side
rail.
4. Slide the crossbar outward, away from the
center of the roof. The crossbar will nest fully
within the side rail.
5. Once the driver’ s side crossbar is in place,
tighten the thumb screws completely.
6. Repeat the procedure to stow the second
crossbar on the opposite side.
NOTE:
• To help control wind noise, stow the crossbars
in the side rails when they are not in use.
• If any metallic object is placed over the satel-
lite radio antenna (if equipped), you may ex-
perience interruption of satellite radio
reception.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before
driving your vehicle. Improperly secured
loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at
WARNING!
high speeds, resulting in personal injury or
property damage. Follow the roof rack cau-
tions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.
CAUTION!
• To prevent damage to the roof of your
vehicle, DO NOT carry any loads on the
roof rack without the crossbars deployed.
The load should be secured and placed on
top of the crossbars, not directly on the
roof. If it is necessary to place the load on
the roof, place a blanket or other protective
layer between the load and the roof sur-
face.
• To avoid damage to the roof rack and ve-
hicle, do not exceed the maximum roof
rack load capacity of 150 lb (68 kg). Al-
ways distribute heavy loads as evenly as
possible and secure the load appropriately.
• Load should always be secured to cross
bars first, with tie down loops used as
additional securing points if needed. Tie
loops are intended as supplementary tie
CAUTION!
down points only . Do not use ratcheting
mechanisms with the tie loops. Check the
straps and thumb wheels frequently to be
sure that the load remains securely at-
tached.
• Long loads that extend over the wind-
shield, such as wood panels or surfboards,
or loads with large frontal area should be
secured to both the front and rear of the
vehicle.
• Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners
carefully when carrying large or heavy
loads on the roof rack. W ind forces, due to
natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can
add sudden upward lift to a load. This is
especially true on large flat loads and may
result in damage to the cargo or your ve-
hicle.
• The use of Sport Mode, Track Mode, or
Launch Control is not recommended when
using the Roof Luggage Rack to carry a
load.
