anchored so that it will not
interfere with the operation of
the accelerator pedal. Any inter-
ference with the accelerator

(Continued)
The vehicle center of gravity willbe higher when items are
loaded onto the roof rack. Avoid
sudden starts, braking, sharp
turns, abrupt maneuvers or
high speeds that may result in
loss of vehicle control or
rollover resulting in an accident.
Always drive slowly and turn corners carefully when carrying
items on the roof rack. Severe
wind updrafts, caused by pass-
ing vehicles or natural causes,
can cause sudden upward pres-
sure on items loaded on the
roof rack. This is especially true
when carrying large, flat items
such as wood panels or mat-
tresses. This could cause the
items to fall off the roof rack and
cause damage to your vehicle
or others around you.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check fre-
quently before or while driving
to make sure the items on the
roof rack are securely fastened.
