Driving tips

Rear crossbar:

A) Zero gap

Install the rear cross bar so that the rear edges of both

crossbar end supports are aligned (zero gap) with the

front edges of both rear roof rail supports.

Install the rear crossbar in the same manner as the

front crossbar.

Do not carry cargo on the roof when the cross-

bars are removed. Luggage on the roof will be

thrown forward or backward in sudden stops or

rapid accelerations, resulting in a dangerous

road hazard.

NOTE

Before each use of the roof crossbar, make sure

the four T-30 crossbar clamp screws have been

checked, and retightened if necessary to 35 lbf·in

(4.0 N·m, 0.41 kgf·m), as outlined in Step #5 above.
