1) Load label
2) Direction arrow label
3) 6 in (150 mm)
3. With the front direction arrow label on
the top right side of the crossbar pointing
toward the front of the vehicle, carefully
place the crossbar across the top of the
vehicle so that the crossbar end supports
rest on the top of the roof rails approxi-
mately 6 inches (150 mm) rearward in the
front radius of the roof rail.
4. Move the end support and inner clamp
to hook under the end of the roof rail on
both sides and loosely assemble the T-30
torx® head screw with the tool provided
into the threaded insert in the inner clamp
on each end of the crossbar.
NOTE
It may be necessary to start the inner
clamp and end support at the center of
the roof rail for easier installation, then
move the crossbar forward. Use care
not to cross-thread the screw in the in-
sert if it has been removed.
5. Adjust the alignment of the crossbar on
the roof rails, and if available, use a T-30
torx® bit and torque wrench and tighten
the T-30 torx® head screws to 30 to 35
lbf·in (3.4 to 4.0 N·m, 0.35 to 0.41 kgf·m)
of torque (or tighten securely with the
torx® wrench provided).
Rear crossbar:
1) T-30 torx® head screw
2) Front arrow label
3) 6 in (150 mm)
Install the rear crossbar in the same man-
ner as the front crossbar.
NOTE
The rear crossbar should be posi-
tioned 6 inches (150 mm) forward of
the rear radius in the roof rail.
NOTE
Before each use of the roof crossbar,
make sure the four T-30 crossbar
clamp screws have been checked, and
retightened if necessary to 30 to 35
lbf·in (3.4 to 4.0 N·m, 0.35 to 0.41 kgf·m),
as outlined in Step #5 above.

Do not carry cargo on the roof when
the crossbars are removed. Lug-
gage on the roof will be thrown for-
ward or backward in sudden stops
or rapid accelerations, resulting in a
dangerous road hazard.
