The vehicle’s roof panelis not
designed to carry a load.
When loading the luggage rack, it is
recommended to evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a low
center of gravity. Ensure that the load is securely fastened.
Your fuel economy will decrease when you drive with items on the
luggage rack. When the rack is loaded, check the tightness of the rear
adjusting thumbwheel before driving and at each refueling stop.
Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle
differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as
slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken when
driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
