CAUTION!
•
Crossbars should remain equally spaced or parallel at any
luggage rack position for proper function. Noncompliance
could result in damage to the luggage rack, cargo and/or
vehicle.
•
To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed
the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150 lbs (68 kg).
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, or loads with large frontal area
should be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle.
•
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 lift to loads. This is especially 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.
LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM
The automatic load leveling system will provide a level
riding vehicle under most passenger and cargo loading
conditions.
A hydraulic pump contained within the shock absorbers
raises the rear of the vehicle to the correct height. It takes
approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) of driving for the leveling
to complete depending on road surface conditions.
