WARNING
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes orstraps to help prevent it from sliding
or shif ting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
∙ Use suitable ropes and hooks to se- cure cargo.
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the lug- gage area. It is extremely dangerous
to ride in a cargo area inside of a ve-
hicle. In a collision, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed.
∙ Do not allow people to ride in any area 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 seriously 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
∙ Always install the crossbars onto theroof 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.
∙ Roof rack cross bars should be evenly distributed.
∙ Do not exceed maximum roof rack crossbars load capacity and always
distribute the load uniformly. ∙ Heavy loading of the crossbars has
the potential to affect the vehicle sta-
bility and handling during sudden or
unusual handling maneuvers.
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shif ting. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
∙ 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
crossbars.
CAUTION
∙ Use care when placing or removingitems from the roof rack. If you cannot
comfortably lif t the items onto the
roof rack from the ground, use a lad-
der or a stool.
Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails
