■Cross rail adjustment
Make sure the cross rails are locked securely by applying pressure forward
and rearward.
Failure to do so may cause an accident, death or serious injury in the event
of emergency braking or a collision.
■ When loading cargo
Observe the following precautions:
●Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front
and rear axles.
● If loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the vehicle overall length or
width. ( P. 622)
● Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened to the roof lug-
gage carrier.
● Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will raise the vehicle’s center of
gravity. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or
abrupt maneuvers, otherwise unexpected loss of control or vehicle rollover
may occur.
● If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the
vehicle occasionally during the trip to make sure the cargo remains
securely fastened.
● Do not exceed 150 lb. (68 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
