132 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE the Tire and Loading information placard for more information about cargo and load capacity. The placard is located either on the driver's side "B" pillar or the driver door. Flip the lever up to attach or adjust the crossbars. Then turn lever counter-clockwise to loosen lower clamp. Twist clamp towards center of crossbar when lower clamp is loose. Pick up crossbar and move to desired location. Return lower clamp towards the outside of vehicle and turn upper clockwise to re-tighten clamp to siderail. Flip lever down when tight. Do not place crossbar directly over the sunroof glass (if equipped). Attempt to move the crossbar again to ensure that it has properly locked into position. NOTE: To reduce the amount of wind noise when the crossbars are not in use, remove both crossbars from the siderails and place inside the vehicle. CAUTION! • To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150 lbs (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure the load appropriately. • Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large frontal area should be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle. • Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden upward loads. This is especially true on large flat loads and may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle. • Do not use the pop-up feature of the sliding / pop-up roof when positioning or placing luggage above it, to prevent damage to the sliding / pop-up roof panel.
