CARGO NET (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING: The cargo net is not designed to restrain objects
during a collision or heavy braking.

The cargo net secures lightweight
objects in the cargo area. Attach the
net to the anchors provided. Do not
put more than 50 pounds
(22 kilograms) in the net.

ROOF RACKS AND LOAD CARRIERS (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING: When loading the roof rail crossbars, it is
recommended to evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a

low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with higher centers of gravity,
may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such
as slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken
when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.

Note: The maximum recommended load is 100 pounds (45 kilograms),
evenly distributed on the crossbars.

Note: Loads should never be placed directly on the roof panel. The roof
panel is not designed to directly carry a load.
