Always drive slowly and turn cor-
ners carefully when carrying items
on the roof rack. Severe wind
updrafts, caused by passing vehi-
cles or natural causes, can cause
sudden upward pressure on items
loaded on the roof rack. This is
especially true when carrying
large, flat items such as wood pan-
els or mattresses. This could cause
the items to fall off the roof rack
and cause damage to your vehicle
or others around you. To prevent damage or loss of cargo
while driving, check frequently
before or while driving to make
sure the items on the roof rack are
securely fastened.
WARNING - Center ofgravity
Always drive slowly and turn
corners carefully when carrying
items on the roof rack. The vehi-
cle center of gravity will be
higher when items are loaded
onto the roof rack.

antenna, turn it clockwise. When reinstalling your roof anten-
na, it is important that it is fully

antenna clear of snow and ice
build-up and keep luggage and
other material as far away from the

ings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
