Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions when

CAUTION
When you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier,
observe the following:
 Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed
evenly between the front and rear axles.
 If loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the
vehicle overall length or width. (See “Specifications”
on page 463 for information on your vehicle overall
length and width.
 Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely
fastened on the roof luggage carrier.
 Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make
the center of the vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high
speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking
or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss
of control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate
this vehicle correctly.
 If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at
high speeds, stop the vehicle now and then during
the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its place.
 Do not exceed 70 kg (143 lb.) cargo weight on the roof
luggage carrier.
NOTICE
When loading the luggages, be careful not to scratch
the surface of the moon roof.
