before applying load/cargo/luggage to
the roof of the vehicle. Genuine NISSAN
accessory cross bars are available
through a NISSAN dealer. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
additional information.
The service load capacity for the roof side
rails is 150 lb (68 kg), however do not
exceed the accessory cross bars load
capacity.

mation regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer
to “Vehicle loading information” (P.10-11).
WARNING
.Always install the cross bars onto
the roof side rails before loading
cargo of any kind. Loading cargo
directly onto the roof side rails or
the vehicle’s roof may cause ve-
hicle damage.
. Drive extra carefully when the
vehicle is loaded at or near the
cargo carrying capacity, espe-
cially 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 sudden or unusual hand-
ling maneuvers.
. Roof rack cross bars should be
evenly distributed.
. Do not exceed maximum roof
rack cross bars load. .
Properly secure all cargo with
ropes or straps to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal in-
jury.

death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
