NOTE:

Load should always be secured to crossbars first,

with rail tie down loops used as additional securing
points if needed. Tie loops are intended as supplemen-
tary tie down points only. Do not use ratcheting mecha-
nisms with the tie loops.

CAUTION!

Check deployed crossbars frequently and retighten

thumb screws as necessary.

To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not

exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150 lb
(68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as
possible and secure the load appropriately.

To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO

NOT carry any loads on the roof rack without the
crossbars deployed.

The load should be secured and placed on top of

the crossbars, not directly on the roof. If it is
necessary to place the load on the roof, place a
blanket or other protective layer between the load
and the roof surface.
