• Tie the load to the tie down loops at both ends of the crossrails to keep loads from shifting. • If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails as far apart as possible. Tie the load to the tie downs provided. Do not tie the load so tightly that the crossrails and side rails are damaged. Notice: Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that weighs more than 100 lbs. (45 kg) or hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle may damage your vehicle. Load cargo so that it rests on the slats as far forward as possible and against the side rails, making sure to fasten it securely. Be sure the cargo is properly loaded. Follow these guidelines: Don't exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle capacity and loading, see Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-51. To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you're driving, check now and then to make sure the luggage carrier and cargo are still securely fastened. • Carrying small, heavy loads on the roof is not recommended. • Do not load cargo directly on the roof panel. 2-35
