Caution
Loading cargo on the roof rack that
weighs more than 100 kg (220 lb) or
hangs over the rear or sides of the
vehicle may damage the vehicle. Do not
load cargo exceeding 100 kg (220 lbs) and
always load cargo so that it rests evenly
between the crossrails and does not block
the vehicle lamps or windows. Fasten the
cargo securely.To prevent damage or loss of cargo when
driving, check to make sure crossrails and
cargo are securely fastened. Loading cargo
on the roof rack will make the vehicle’s
center of gravity higher. Avoid high speeds,
sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking,
or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may
result in loss of control. If driving for a long
distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds,
occasionally stop the vehicle to make sure
the cargo remains in its place.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle
capacity when loading the vehicle. For more
information on vehicle capacity and loading,
see
Vehicle Load Limits 0222.
A Center High-Mounted Stoplamp (CHMSL) is
located above the rear window glass. Make
sure items loaded on the roof of the vehicle
do not block or damage the CHMSL.
