froster only when the engine is

CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the heating ele-
ments:
Use care when washing the insideof the rear window. Do not use
abrasive window cleaners on the
interior surface of the window.
Use a soft cloth and a mild wash-
ing solution, wiping parallel to
the heating elements. Labels can
be peeled off after soaking with
warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instru- ments, or abrasive window clean-
ers on the interior surface of the
window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The crossbars on your vehicle are de-
livered stowed within the roof rack
side rails. If adding cargo, deploy the
crossbars. Distribute cargo weight
evenly on the roof rack crossbars, to
maximum of 68 kg. The roof rack
does not increase the total load carry-
ing capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the
total load of cargo inside the vehicle
plus that on the external rack does not
exceed the maximum vehicle load ca-
pacity.
The crossbars and side rails are de-
signed to carry weight on vehicles
equipped with a luggage rack. The load must not exceed 68 kg, and
should be uniformly distributed over
the luggage rack crossbars.
NOTE:
Crossbars are error-proofed and
cannot be deployed or stowed in
the incorrect positions.
To help control wind noise, stow the crossbars in the side rails
when they are not in use.
DEPLOYING THE
CROSSBARS
To deploy the crossbars, completely
loosen the thumb screws at both ends
of the crossbar and lift the crossbar
from its stowed position in the side
rail. Repeat with crossbar on the op-
posite side.

Page 168 of 364

CAUTION!
Use care when removing and han-
dling the crossbars to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle.
Bend the crossbar supports at each
end, taking care to keep hand clear of
pivoting joint. Slide the thumb screw
down. Then, position the crossbars across
the roof.
NOTE: The crossbars are identi-
cal and can be placed in any two of
the three deploy positions.
Make sure the directional arrows on
the crossbars align with the direc-
tional arrows on the side rails. Set the
crossbars into the deployed positions.Once the crossbars are set into posi-
tion, tighten the thumb screws com-
pletely.
Stowing the Crossbars
Reverse the procedure to stow the
crossbars, again, taking care to keep
hand clear of pivoting joint. Crossbars
are identical and can be stowed in
either rail nest. Once the crossbars are
stowed, tighten the thumb screws
completely.
NOTE: Load should always be se-
cured to crossbars first, with rail
tie down loops used as additional
securing points if needed. Tie
loops are intended as supplemen-
tary tie down points only. Do not
use ratcheting mechanisms with
the tie loops.
