installed, the roof rack can hold a maximum of 150 lbs (68 kg) of evenly distributed weight.

Installing The Crossbars

1. To install the crossbars, completely loosen the thumb screws at both ends and slide the

crossbar out from its stowed position.

2. Bend the pivot points at each end of the crossbar and push the thumb screw down.

NOTE:
Position the crossbars across the roof making sure the letters on the crossbar align with the
matching letters on the side rail.

3. Set the crossbars into position, slide them into the groove and tighten the thumb screws.

4. Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

Refer to local laws for maximum trailer towing speeds.

NOTE: The trailer tongue weight must be considered as part of the combined weight of

occupants and cargo, and should never exceed the weight referenced on the Tire and Loading

Information placard. The addition of passengers and cargo may require reducing trailer

tongue load and Gross Trailer Weight (GTW). Redistributing cargo (to the trailer) may be

necessary to avoid exceeding Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) of 3,900 lbs (1 769 kg).

• If the gross trailer weight is 3,500 lbs (1587 kg) or more, it is mandatory to use a

weight-distributing hitch to ensure stable handling of your vehicle.

NOTE:
Vehicles not factory equipped with trailer tow package are limited to 3,500 lbs (350 lbs
tongue weight).
