CAUTION!

To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do

not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity
of 150 lbs (68 kg) or 65 lbs (29.5 kg) on Renegade
models. Always distribute heavy loads as evenly
as possible and secure the load appropriately.

Long loads which extend over the windshield,

such as wood panels or surfboards, should be
secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle.

Place a blanket or other protection between the

surface of the roof and the load.

Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully

when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack.
Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck
traffic, can add sudden upward loads. This is espe-
cially true on large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.

WARNING!

Cargo must be securely tied before driving your
vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the
vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in
personal injury or property damage. Follow the roof
rack “Cautions” when carrying cargo on your roof
rack.
