If you try to carry something on top of

plywood, a mattress and so forth — the
wind can catch it as you drive along. This
can cause you to lose control. What you
are carrying could be violently torn off,
and this could cause you or other drivers
to have a collision, and of course damage
your vehicle. You may be able to carry
something like this inside. But, never
carry something longer or wider than the
luggage carrier on top of your vehicle.

If you have the luggage carrier, you can load
things on top of your vehicle. Crossrails are not

that weighs more than 200 lbs (91 kg) or hangs
over the rear or sides of the vehicle may
damage your vehicle. Load cargo so that it rests
as far forward as possible and against the side
rails, making sure to fasten it securely.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity
when loading your vehicle. For more information

Vehicle on page 361.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are
