LUGGAGE RACK SPA0397 Always evenly distribute the luggage on the luggage rack. Do not load more than 100 lbs. (45 kg). 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 Safety Compliance Certification Label (located on the driver's door pillar). For more information regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer to "Technical and customer information". The cross-bars can be adjusted forward and backward. Place your luggage between the bars (A), adjust the bars (A), and secure the luggage with rope to the bars (A). There are also adjustable loops on the side bars for the rope attachment. Use care when placing or removing items from the luggage rack. If you cannot comfortably lift the items onto the luggage rack from the ground, use a ladder or stool. 2-41
