Do not apply any load directly to the roof side rails. Cross bars must be installed before applying load/cargo/luggage to the roof of the vehicle. Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and rear). The GVWR and GAWR are located on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S. certification label (located on the driver's door pillar). For more information regarding GVWR and GAWR, see "Vehicle loading information" in the "Technical and customer information" section. LIC2244 LIC2386 WARNING ● Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is loaded at or near the cargo carrying capacity, especially if the significant portion of that load is carried on the cross bars. ● Heavy loading of the cross bars has the potential to affect the vehicle stability and handling during sudden or unusual handling maneuvers. ● Roof rack cross bars should be evenly distributed. ● Do not exceed maximum roof rack cross bars load.
