• The gross weight of the roof rack plus

cargo must not exceed the loading
capacity (50 kg (110 lbs)). Also, do not
let the gross vehicle weight (fully loaded
vehicle including driver, passengers,
cargo, roof load and trailer tongue
weight) exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) listed in the
driver’s door lock pillar.

• Mount and secure the cargo onto the

roof rack properly according to the
instructions provided. Be sure to stow
the heaviest items at the bottom and dis-
tribute the cargo as evenly as possible.

• Do not carry items so large that they

hang over the bumpers or the sides of
the vehicle, or block your view.

• Secure the front and rear ends of long

items – such as wood panels, surfboards
and so forth – to both the front and rear
of the vehicle. You should protect the
painted surfaces of the vehicle from
scuffing caused by tie-down ropes.

• Check periodically to make sure the roof

rack is securely installed and free from
damage.

• For vehicles with roof rack anchors,

make sure the anchors are covered with
the caps when not in use.

WARNING

• Abrupt maneuvers or failure to

properly secure cargo can allow the
cargo to fly off the vehicle and hit
others, causing personal injury or

nering and sudden braking. Check
periodically to make sure that
cargo is securely fastened.

• Large, bulky, long, or flat items can

affect vehicle aerodynamics or be
caught by the wind, and can reduce

when carrying this type of cargo.
