Roof luggage carrier precautions
To use the roof rails as a roof luggage carrier, you must fit the roof rails
with two or more genuine Toyota cross rails or their equivalent.
When you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier, observe the following:
●
Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof
luggage carrier.
●
Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the
vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,
sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of
control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly
and result in death or serious injury.
●
If 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.
●
Do not exceed 100 lb. (45 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
●
Place the cargo so that its weight is
distributed evenly between the front
and rear axles.
●
If loading long or wide cargo, never
exceed the vehicle overall length or
width. (
