must be used together with a roof crossbar kit
and the appropriate carrying attachment. The
roof rail must never be used alone to carry car-

dangerous road hazard due to loss of cargo
could result.

When using the roof crossbar kit, make sure
that the total weight of the crossbars, carrying
attachment and cargo does not exceed the
maximum load limit. Overloading may cause
damage to the vehicle and create a safety haz-
ard.

When you carry cargo on the roof using the roof cross-
bar kit and a carrying attachment, never exceed the
maximum load limit explained in the following. You
should also be careful that your vehicle does not ex-

front and rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). See
the “Loading your vehicle” section in chapter 8 for in-
