cle is loaded at or near the cargo
carrying capacity, especially if the
significant portion of that load is
carried on the cross bars.
.Heavy loading of the cross bars has
the potential to affect the vehicle
stability and handling during sud-
den or unusual handling maneuvers.
.Roof rail cross bars should be
evenly distributed.
.Do not exceed maximum roof rail
cross bars load.

or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. In a sudden stop
