To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you're leaving,
check now and then to make sure the luggage and
cargo are still securely fastened.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded.
·If small heavy objects are placed on the roof cut a
piece of 3/8 inch plywood to ®t inside the crossrails
and siderails to spread the load. If plywood is
used, tie it to the siderail supports.
·Tie the load to the crossrails or the siderail supports.
Use the crossrails only to keep the load from
sliding. To move a crossrail, turn the release knobs,
on both sides of the rail, counterclockwise to
loosen it. Slide the crossrail to the desired position
balancing the force side to side. Turn the release
knobs, on both sides of the rail, clockwise to tighten
it and try to slide the crossrail back and forth
slightly to be sure it is tight.
·If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as they will go. Tie the load to the
crossrails and the siderails or siderail supports.
Also tie the load to the bumpers. Do not tie the load
so tightly that the crossrails or siderails are
damaged.
·After moving a crossrail, be sure it is securely
locked into the siderail.
