. When loading cargo on the cross-
bars, using the genuine SUBARU
accessory crossbar attach-
ments, make sure the total weight
of the crossbar attachments, and
loaded cargo, does not exceed
the maximum load limit of 150 lbs
(67.5 kg). Overloading may cause
damage to the vehicle and create
a safety hazard.
. Be careful not to damage the
vehicle body when passing the
rope through the front and rear
holes of the roof rails.
. Do not install a roof tent on the
vehicle. Doing so may damage
the vehicle and create a safety
hazard. SUBARU warranties do
not cover vehicle damage result-
ing from use of a roof tent.
The crossbars must be extended across
the roof and locked into the roof rails to
carry cargo on the roof. Cargo can only be
carried on the crossbars using the genuine
SUBARU accessory crossbar attach-
ments.
When you carry cargo on the roof using the
crossbars and a carrying attachment,
never exceed the maximum load limit
explained in the following. You should also
be careful that your vehicle does not
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) and front and rear Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). For information
on loading cargo into or onto your vehicle,
refer to “Loading Your Vehicle” P460.
The maximum load limit of the cargo and
carrying attachment must not exceed the
allowable load limit described in the Own-
er’s Manual of a genuine SUBARU carry-
ing attachment. Place the heaviest load at
the bottom, nearest the roof, and evenly
distribute the cargo. Always properly se-
cure all cargo.
! Installing carrying attachments on
the crossbars
s08aj0801
When installing any carrying attachments
such as the load carriers, crossbars, bike
carrier, ski carrier, kayak carrier, cargo
basket, etc., follow the manufacturer’s
instructions of the load capacity and make
sure that the attachments are securely
installed. Use only attachments designed
specifically for the crossbars. Before oper-
ating the vehicle, make sure that the cargo
is properly secured on the attachment.
NOTE
. Remember that the vehicle’s center
of gravity is altered with the weight
of the load on the roof, thus affecting
the driving characteristics. Drive
carefully, avoid rapid starts, hard
cornering and abrupt stops. Cross-
wind effects will be increased.
. Restore the bars to the original
position when the bars are not used
as crossbars.
