WARNING
●Properly secure all cargo with ropes or

the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or col-
lision, unsecured cargo could cause

injured or killed.

of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
● The child restraint top tether strap may
be damaged by contact with items in
the cargo area. Secure any items in the
cargo area. Your child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in a collision if
the top tether strap is damaged.
● Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.

ROOF RACK
WARNING
●Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying
capacity, especially if the significant
portion of that load is carried on the
roof rack.
● Heavy loading of the roof rack has the
potential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or abnor-
mal handling maneuvers.
● Roof rack load should be evenly
distributed.
● Do not exceed maximum roof rack load
weight capacity.
● Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause personal
injury.
CAUTION
Use care when placing or removing items
from the roof rack. If you cannot comfort-
ably lift the items onto the roof rack from
the ground, use a ladder or stool.

Always distribute the luggage evenly on the roof
rack. Do not load more than 200 lbs (91 kg) on
entire roof rack. Be sure load is evenly distributed
across both crossbars. Be careful that your ve-
hicle does not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR front and rear) . The GVWR and GAWR
are located on the F.M.V.S.S. label (located on
the driver’s door pillar) . For more information
regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer to “Vehicle
loading information” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section later in this manual.The crossbars can be adjusted forward and
backward. Loosen the thumbwheel

just the crossbar to the desired position. Tighten
the thumbwheel. Place your luggage on the bars
and secure the luggage with rope to the utility
loops

or tie rope directly to the side rails. Always be
sure the thumbwheels are fully tightened to keep
the crossbar in place. Do not use utility loops for
any purpose other than securing luggage.

● Make sure that all passengers have
their hands, etc. inside the vehicle while
it is in motion and before closing the
windows. Use the window lock switch
to prevent unexpected use of the power
windows.
● Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls and become
trapped in a window. Unattended chil-
dren could become involved in serious
accidents.
The power windows operate when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position, or for a
period of time after the ignition switch is placed in
