Genuine NISSAN accessory cross bars are
available through a NISSAN dealer. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for additional information.
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the
cross bars. Do not load more than 150 lb (68
kg) on the cross bars. Observe the maximum
load limit shown on the cross bars or roof
carriers when you attach them on the roof cross
bars. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for additional information.
Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars must be installed before
applying load/cargo/luggage to the roof of the
vehicle.Be careful that your vehicle 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. or C.V.M.S.S. certification label (lo-
cated on the driver’s door pillar). For additional
information regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer
to “Vehicle loading information” (P.10-11) .
WARNING
.Drive extra carefully when the vehi-
cle is loaded at or near the cargo
carrying capacity, especially if the
significant portion of that load is
carried on the cross bars.
.Heavy loading of the cross bars has
the potential to affect the vehicle
stability and handling during sud-
den or unusual handling maneuvers.
.Roof rail cross bars should be
evenly distributed.
.Do not exceed maximum roof rail
cross bars load.
.Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo couldcause personal injury.
CAUTION
Always install the cross bars onto the
roof side rails before loading cargo of
any kind. Loading cargo directly onto
the roof side rails or the vehicle’s roof
may cause vehicle damage.
