EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT CAUTION When you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier, observe the following: D Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front and rear axles. D If loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the vehicle overall length or width. (See "Specifications" on page 712 for information on your vehicle overall length and width.) 2. Slide the cross rails to the appropriate position for loading luggage and release the lever. D Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof luggage carrier. D Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly. CAUTION Make sure the cross rails are locked securely by pushing forward and rearward them. Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident or severe injury in the event of emergency braking or a collision. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and precautions when installing the attachments or their equivalent. 155
