ROOF RACK (IF EQUIPPED)
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load things on top of your vehicle. The
two cross bars on the roof rack can
be repositioned forward or rearward
for conveniently loading cargo or lug-
gage. With an assistant on the oppo-
site side of the vehicle, press and
hold the slider lock buttons on each
side, then move the cross bar to the
desired position. Release the buttons
and lock the cross bar by moving the
crossbar slightly forward or rearward.
• Loading cargo or luggage above
45 kg (100 lbs) on the roof rack
may damage your vehicle.
When you carry large objects,
never let them hang over the rear or
the sides of your vehicle.
• To prevent damage or loss of cargo
as you are driving, check frequent-
ly to make sure the luggage carrier
and cargo are still securely fas-
tened.
• Always drive your vehicle at a mod-
erate speed.
• Loading cargo or luggage over
specification on the roof rack may
damage stability of your vehicle.
