D290100AHMRoof rack (if equipped)If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
The two crossbars on the roof rack can
be repositioned forward or rearward for
conveniently loading cargo or a roof car-
rier. To move the crossbar, pull the lever
and move the crossbar to the desired
position. Release the lever and lock the

damage, with an assistant on the oppo-
site side of the vehicle, pull and hold the
lever on each side, then move the cross
bar to the desired position.
✽ ✽NOTICE• The crossbars (if equipped) should be
placed in the proper load carrying
positions prior to placing items onto
the roof rack.
• If the vehicle is equipped with a sun- roof, be sure not to position cargo onto
the roof rack in such a way that itcould interfere with sunroof operation.• When the roof rack is not being usedto carry cargo, the crossbars may
need to be repositioned if wind noise is
detected.
EXTERIOR FEATURES
CAUTION
When carrying cargo on the roof
rack, take the necessary precau-tions to make sure the cargo doesnot damage the roof of the vehicle.
When carrying large objects on the roof rack, make sure they donot exceed the overall roof length or width.
WARNING
The following specification is the maximum weight that can be
loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly as
possible across the crossbars (if
equipped) and roof rack and
secure the load firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in
excess of the specified weight
limit on the roof rack may dam-
age your vehicle.

the side step for your convenience.
OHM048145
WARNING
Watch your steps so as not to slip
on a slippery side step when it is
rainy or snowy.
If you try to open the door when the temperature is below freezing
or when the side step is covered
with snow or ice, the door could
be damaged. Remove any snow
that may accumulate on the side
steps.
(Continued)
Always drive slowly and turn cor-ners carefully when carrying
items on the roof rack. Severe
wind updrafts, caused by passing
vehicles or natural causes, can
cause sudden upward pressure
on items loaded on the roof rack.
This is especially true when car-
rying large, flat items such as
wood panels or mattresses. 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.
