GENERAL INFORMATION
1–10
CAUTION
(2) When luggage is loaded onto the
vehicle, please make sure to drive
slowly and avoid excessive man-
euvers such as sudden braking or
quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on
the carrier so that its weight is dis-
tributed evenly with the heaviest
items on the bottom. Do not load
items that are wider than the roof
carrier.
The additional weight on the roof
could heighten the vehicle’s centre
of gravity and affect the vehicle
handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emerg-
ency maneuvers could lead to a
loss of control and result in an acci-
dent.
CAUTION
(3) Before driving and after travelling a
short distance, always check the
load to make sure it is securely fas-
tened to the roof carrier.
Check periodically during your
travel that the load remains secure.
If the load is not secure, it could fall
from the vehicle and damage your
vehicle, another vehicle or create
road hazard.
NOTE
(1) To prevent wind noise or reduction in
gas mileage, remove the roof carrier
when not in use.
(2) Before using an automatic car wash,
check with the attendant to determine if
the roof carrier should be removed.
(3) Be sure that adequate clearance is
maintained for raising the sunroof (For
vehicles with sunroof) and tailgate
(hatchback) when installing a roof
carrier.
