the Tire and Loading information placard for more
information about cargo and load capacity. The placard is
located either on the driver’s side “B” pillar or the driver
door.
Flip the lever up to attach or adjust the crossbars. Then
turn lever counter-clockwise to loosen lower clamp.
Twist clamp towards center of crossbar when lower
clamp is loose. Pick up crossbar and move to desired
location. Return lower clamp towards the outside of
vehicle and turn upper clockwise to re-tighten clamp to
siderail. Flip lever down when tight. Do not place
crossbar directly over the sunroof glass (if equipped).
Attempt to move the crossbar again to ensure that it has
properly locked into position.
NOTE: To reduce the amount of wind noise when the
crossbars are not in use, remove both crossbars from the
siderails and place inside the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do
not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity
of 150 lbs (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads
as evenly as possible and secure the load appro-
priately.
• Long loads which extend over the windshield,
such as wood panels or surfboards, or loads with
large frontal area should be secured to both the
front and rear of the vehicle.
• Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners care-
fully when carrying large or heavy loads on the
roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or
nearby truck traffic, can add sudden upward
loads. This is especially true on large flat loads
and may result in damage to the cargo or your
vehicle.
• Do not use the pop-up feature of the sliding /
pop-up roof when positioning or placing luggage
above it, to prevent damage to the sliding / pop-up
roof panel.
