ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the roof
rack. Do not load more than 165 lb (75 kg)
(black) or 220 lb (100 kg) (silver) on the roof
rails. Observe the maximum load limit shown on
the crossbars or roof carriers when you attach

“VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION” in the “9.
