NOTE:

If the rear cross rail (or any metallic object) is

placed over the satellite radio antenna (if equipped), you
may experience interruption of satellite radio reception.
For improved satellite radio reception, place the rear
cross rail in detent position #4 when not in use.

CAUTION!

To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO NOT
carry any loads on the roof rack without cross rails
installed. The load should be secured and placed on top of
the cross rails, not directly on the roof. If it is necessary to
place the load on the roof, place a blanket or some other
protection between the load and the roof surface.

To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not
exceed the rated load capacity of your cross rail system
or the roof rack system maximum load capacity of 150
lbs (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as
possible and secure the load appropriately.

Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as
wood panels or surfboards, should be secured to both
the front and rear of the vehicle.

Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully
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.
