Roof luggage carrier (with moon roof) To use a roof luggage carrier, you must fit the genuine Toyota roof rails with two or more crossrails or their equivalent. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and precautions when installing the roof rails and crossrails or their equivalent. zAvoid sudden starts, sharp turns or sudden braking. zIf 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. Luggage covers NOTICE When you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier, observe the following precautions to prevent accidents and damage to your vehicle. zDo not exceed 100 kg (220 lb.) cargo weight on the roof rails. However, if the allowable cargo weight of the cross rails is under 100 kg (220 lb.), observe the load limit and other instructions for the cross rails. zPlace the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front and rear axles. zIf loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the vehicle overall length or width. (See "Dimensions" in Part 8 for information on your vehicle overall length and width.) zBefore driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof luggage carrier. To use the luggage covers, pull the top covers out of the retractor and hook them to the each anchors of the third seatbacks. Then, detach the side covers from the retractor and attach them to the top covers. Do not use the luggage covers when the third seatbacks are reclined. 114
