1) 6 in (150 mm)
4. Install the front crossbar so that thecrossbar end supports are located ap-proximately 6 in (150 mm) rearward fromthe joints between the roof rails and thefront roof rail supports.
1) Lower clamp2) T-30 torx®head screw
5. Tighten the lower clamps onto thecrossbar. Using a torque wrench, looselytighten the T-30 torx®head screws.
NOTE
It may be necessary to squeeze thelower clamp and the end supporttogether to compress the pads andgaina better alignment of the pieceswhile trying to start the screw. Use carenot to cross-thread the screw in theinsert.
6. Adjust the alignment of the crossbaron the roof rails, and if available, use a T-30 torx®bit and torque wrench and tightenthe T-30 torx®headscrews to 30 to 35lbf·in (3.4 to 4.0 N·m, 0.35 to 0.41 kgf·m) oftorque (or tighten securely with the torx®
wrench provided).

Rear crossbar:
1) 8 in (200 mm)
Install the rear crossbar so that the cross-bar end supports are located approxi-mately 8 in (200 mm) forward from thejoints between the roof rails and the rearroof rail supports.
Install the rear crossbar in the samemanner as the front crossbar.
CAUTION
Do not carry cargo on the roof whenthe crossbars are removed. Lug-gage on the roof will be thrownforward or backward in suddenstops or rapid accelerations, result-ing in a dangerous road hazard.
NOTE
Before each use of the roof crossbar,make sure the four T-30 crossbarclamp screws have been checked,and retightened if necessary to 35 lbf·in(4.0 N·m, 0.41 kgf·m), as outlined inStep #5 above.
&Roof molding and crossbar
(if equipped)
CAUTION
.For cargo carrying purposes, theroofmolding must be used to-gether with a roof crossbar kitand the appropriate carrying at-tachment. Otherwise, damage tothe roof or paint or a dangerous
road hazard due to loss of cargocould result.
.When using the roof crossbar kit,make sure that the total weight ofthe crossbars, carrying attach-ments and cargo does not ex-ceed the maximum load limit.Overloading may cause damageto the vehicle and create a safetyhazard.
Cargo can be carried after securing theroof crossbar kit to the roof molding andinstalling the appropriate carrying attach-ments. When installing the roof crossbarkit, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
When you carry cargo on the roof usingthe roof crossbar kit and a carryingattachments, never exceed the maximumload limit as explained below. You shouldalso be careful that your vehicle does notexceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating(GVWR) and front and rear Gross AxleWeight Rating (GAWR). Refer to the“Loading your vehicle”section in thischapter for information on loading cargointo or onto your vehicle. The maximumload limit of the cargo, crossbars andcarrying attachments must not exceed150 lbs (68 kg). Place the heaviest loadat the bottom, nearest the roof, and evenlydistribute the cargo. Always properly

secure all cargo.
!Installing carrying attachments onthe crossbars
When installing any carrying attachmentssuch as a bike carrier, ski carrier, kayakcarrier, cargo basket, etc. on the cross-bars, follow the manufacturer’s instruc-tions and make sure that the attachmentsare securely fixed to the crossbars. Useonly attachments designed specifically forthe crossbars. The maximum load limit ofthe cargo,crossbars and carrying attach-ments must not exceed150 lbs (68 kg).Before operating the vehicle, make surethat the cargo is properly secured on theattachments.
NOTE
Remember that the vehicle’s center ofgravity is altered with the weight of theload on the roof, thus affecting thedriving characteristics.
Drive carefully. Avoid rapid starts, hardcornering and abrupt stops. Crosswindeffects will be increased.
!Removal and installation of thecrossbars
Each of the two roof moldings has twomounting points for crossbars. Eachmounting point is fitted with a cover. Usea screwdriver to remove the covers. Wheninstallingthe crossbars on the roof mold-ing, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Trailer hitch (if equipped)
1) Trailer hitch
WARNING
.Never exceed the maximumweight specified for the trailerhitch. Exceedingthe maximumweight could cause an accidentresulting in serious personal in-juries. Permissible trailer weightchanges depending on the situa-tion. For possible recommenda-tions and limitations, refer to“Trailer towing”F8-21.
.Trailer brakes are required whenthe towing load exceeds 1,000lbs (453 kg). Be sure your trailer

Consumer information and Reporting safety defects13-7

13-10Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
.To maximize the life of each tire
and ensure that the tires wear
uniformly, it is best to rotate the
tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km).
For information about the tire rota-
tion order, refer to“Tire rotation”
F11-26.Replace any damaged or
unevenly worn tires at the time of
rotation. After tire rotation, adjust
the tire pressures and make sure
the wheel nuts are correctly tigh-
tened. For information about the
tightening torque and tightening
sequence for the wheel nuts, refer
to“Flat tires”F9-6.
&Vehicle load limit–how to
determine
The load capacity of your vehicle is
determined by weight, not by avail-
able cargo space. The load limit of
your vehicle is shown on the
vehicle placard attached to the
driver’ssideB-pillar.Locatethe
statement“The combined weight
of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs”
on your vehicle’s placard.
The vehicle placard also shows
seating capacity of your vehicle.
The total load capacity includes the
total weight of driver and all pas-
sengers and their belongings, any
cargo, any optional equipment such
as a trailer hitch, roof rack or bike
carrier, etc., and the tongue load of
a trailer. Therefore cargo capacity
can be calculated by the following
method.
Cargo capacity = Load limit!(total
weight of occupants + total weight
of optional equipment + tongue
load of a trailer (if applicable))
For information about vehicle load-
ing, refer to“Loading your vehicle”
F8-12.
For information about towing capa-
city and weight limits, refer to
“Trailer towing”F8-21.
!Calculating total and load ca-
pacities varying seating con-
figurations
Calculate the available load capa-
city as shown in the following
examples.
Example 1A
Vehicle capacity weight of the
vehicle is 1,157 lbs (525 kg), which
is indicated on the vehicle placard
with the statement“The combined
weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed 525 kg or
1,157 lbs”.
