Roof rack (if equipped)
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
The two crossbars on the roof rack can
be repositioned forward or rearward for
conveniently loading cargo or a roof car-
rier. To move the crossbar, pull the lever
and move the crossbar to the desired
position. Release the lever and lock the
crossbar by moving the crossbar slightly
forward or rearward.
For your convenience and to prevent
damage, with an assistant on the oppo-
site side of the vehicle, pull and hold the
lever on each side, then move the cross
bar to the desired position.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• The crossbars (if equipped) should be
placed in the proper load carrying
positions prior to placing items onto
the roof rack.
• If the vehicle is equipped with a sun-
roof, be sure not to position cargo onto
the roof rack in such a way that it
could interfere with sunroof operation.
• When the roof rack is not being used
to carry cargo, the crossbars may
need to be repositioned if wind noise is
detected.
EXTERIOR FEATURES
CAUTION
• When carrying cargo on the roof
rack, take the necessary precau-
tions to make sure the cargo does
not damage the roof of the vehicle.
• When carrying large objects on
the roof rack, make sure they do
not exceed the overall roof length
or width.
WARNING
• The following specification is the
maximum weight that can be
loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly as
possible across the crossbars (if
equipped) and roof rack and
secure the load firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in
excess of the specified weight
limit on the roof rack may dam-
age your vehicle.
• The vehicle center of gravity will
be higher when items are loaded
onto the roof rack. Avoid sudden
starts,
braking, sharp turns,
abrupt maneuvers or high speeds
that may result in loss of vehicle
control or rollover resulting in an
accident.
