vehicle overall length or width. (See “Specifications”
on page 564 for information on your vehicle overall
length and width.)
 Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely
fastened on the roof luggage carrier.

or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss
of control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate
this vehicle correctly.
 If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at
high speeds, stop the vehicle now and then during
the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its place.
 Do not exceed 58 kg (130 lb.) cargo weight on the roof
luggage carrier.
