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.

When loading cargo

Observe the following precautions.

●

Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front and rear

axles.

●

If loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the vehicle overall length or width.

P. 390)

●

Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof luggage car-

rier.

●

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.

●

If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the vehicle

now and then during the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its place.

●

Do not exceed 165 lb. (75 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
