GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 81
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
The crossbars and side rails are designed to
carry weight on vehicles equipped with a
luggage rack. The load must not exceed 150 lbs
(68 kg), and should be uniformly distributed
over the luggage rack crossbars.
The crossbars on your vehicle are delivered
stowed within the roof rack side rails. Crossbars
should always be used whenever cargo is
placed on the roof rack. Check the straps
frequently to be sure that the load remains
securely attached.
Roof Rack
The roof rack does not increase the total load
carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the
total load of cargo inside the vehicle plus that
on the external rack does not exceed the
maximum vehicle load capacity.
DEPLOYING THE CROSSBARS
1. Starting with one crossbar, completely
loosen the thumb screws at both ends of
the crossbar.
Thumb Screw
NOTE:
The thumb screws cannot be fully removed.
2. Remove the crossbar from the stowed
position by sliding the crossbar towards the
center of the roof. Repeat with the crossbar
on the opposite side.
Place as much cargo as possible in front of
the rear axle. Too much weight or improp-
erly placed weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the vehicle to sway.
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the
top of the seatback. This could impair visi-
bility or become a dangerous projectile in a
sudden stop or accident.
