LUGGAGE RACK
(if equipped)
The maximum load is 100 kg
(220 lb) on the luggage rack
structure. The load must be placed
directly on the luggage rack. The
vehicle's roof panel is not designed
to carry a load.
When loading the luggage rack, it is
recommended to evenly distribute
the load, as well as maintain a low
center of gravity. Ensure that the
load is securely fastened.
Driving with items on the luggage
rack will result in a deterioration in
fuel economy.
When rack is loaded, check
tightness of rear adjusting
thumbwheel before driving.
Recheck tightness of rear
thumbwheel at each refueling stop
if rack is loaded.
