Interior and exterior equipments NOTE Remember that the vehicle's center of gravity is altered with the weight of the load on the roof, thus affecting the driving characteristics. Drive carefully. Avoid rapid starts, hard cornering and abrupt stops. Crosswind effects will be increased. B Removal and installation of the crossbars CAUTION Do not carry cargo on the roof when the crossbars are removed. Luggage on the roof will be thrown forward or backward in sudden stops or rapid accelerations, resulting in a dangerous road hazard. The crossbars can be removed when you do not use the roof to carry cargo. n To remove the crossbar HB6047BA HB6048BA 1. Loosen and remove the T-30 torxR head screw from the side of each crossbar end support. 2. Move the end support and inner clamp to unhook each side of the crossbar from the roof rail. 3. Carefully raise the crossbar from roof rails. - CONTINUED - 6-25
