Driver Controls LUGGAGE RACK Maximum load is 90 kg (200 lbs) on the roof rack structure, or 45 kg (100 lbs) on the roof panel rails. Distribute the load equally on the cross bars. To adjust the cross-bar position: 1. Release the latch at both ends of the cross-bar (both cross-bars are adjustable). 2. Slide cross-bar to the desired location. 3. Tighten the latch at both ends of the cross-bar. To remove the cross-bar assembly from the roof rack side rails: 1. Loosen the latch at both ends of the cross-bar (both cross-bars are adjustable). 2. Slide cross-bar to the end of the rail. 3. Press down on the locking feature inside the side rail and slide the cross-bar over it. 4. Slide the assemblies off the end. Vehicles with a higher center of gravity such as utility and four-wheel drive vehicles handle differently than vehicles with a lower center of gravity. Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles are not designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more than low-slung sport cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed and abrupt maneuvers in these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously could result in an increase risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. 80 2004 U137 Excursion (hdw) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
