Loading cargo on the roof

!
Weight placed on the roof of the vehicle will raise the
vehicle’s center of gravity and adversely affect its
handling characteristics. As a result, driving errors
or emergency maneuvers could lead to a loss of con-
trol and result in an accident. Drive slowly and
avoid excessive maneuvers such as sudden braking
or quick turning.
Make sure that the weight of luggage and the roof
carrier do not exceed the maximum roof load {with-
out cross bars: 200 lb (91 kg), with cross bars: 150 lb
(68 kg)}. If the maximum roof load is exceeded, this
could cause damage to the vehicle or result in an
accident.
The total weight of all occupants and luggage,
including your roof load, must not exceed the vehicle
capacity weight. For more information, refer to
“Tire and loading information placard” on page 4-9.
Roof load is determined by adding the weight of the
roof carrier and the weight of the luggage placed on
the roof carrier.
For additional information, refer to “Maximum roof
load” on page 9-5.
CAUTION
!
Do not load luggage directly onto the roof. Use a roof
carrier that properly fits your vehicle.
For installation, refer to the instruction manual pro-
vided with the roof carrier.

NOTE
Before using an automatic car wash, check with the atten-
dant to determine if the roof carrier should be removed.

Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for raising
the sunroof (if so equipped) and/or the liftgate when
installing a roof carrier.
Crossbars
(if so equipped)
N00630500013
Use the following procedure for crossbars as desired.
1. Turn the upper and side knobs counterclockwise to loosen
the crossbars.
2. Slide the crossbars to appropriate position.
3. Turn the side knobs clockwise and then turn the upper
knob clockwise to tighten the crossbars securely.
CAUTION
!
Place the luggage on the carrier so that its weight is
distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the
bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the
roof carrier.
Before driving and after traveling a short distance,
always check the load to make sure it is securely fas-
tened to the roof carrier.
Stop the vehicle periodically and check 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 a road hazard.

When the roof carrier is not in use, align the crossbar markings
with the roof rail (if so equipped) markings to minimize wind
noise.
