To prevent damage to the roof of your
vehicle, DO NOT carry any loads on the
roof rack without the crossbars installed.
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 surface.
Crossbars should remain equally spaced or par-
allel at any roof rack position for proper function.
Noncompliance could result in damage to the
roof rack, cargo, and vehicle.
To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle ,
do not exceed the maximum roof rack load ca-
pacity of 68 kg. Always distribute heavy loads as
evenly as possible and secure the load appropri-
ately.
Long loads, which extend over the windshield,
such as wood panels or surfboards, should be
secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle.
Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners care-
fully when carrying large or heavy loads on the
roof rack . Wind forces, due to natural causes or
nearby truck traffic, can add sudden upward
loads.This is especially true on large flat loads and
may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before driv-
ing y
our vehicle. Improperly secured
loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high
speeds, resulting in personal injury or property
damage. Follow the roof rack cautions when
carrying cargo on your roof rack .
