accessories designed to carry cargo.
These can be purchased from your
dealer.
{Warning
Before driving and occasionally
during a trip, check that cargo is
securely fastened, rests evenly
between the cross rails and does
not block the vehicle's lamps or
windows. Never load cargo directly
on the roof of the vehicle or allow
cargo to hang over the rear or sides
of the vehicle. Never load cargo
without first properly installing
cross rails and other accessories
designed to carry cargo. Personal
injury, death or damage to the
vehicle or other property may occur.
If driving for a long distance, on rough
roads, or at high speeds, occasionally
stop the vehicle to make sure the
cargo remains in its place.
Cargo Weight Limits
Do not exceed the maximum cargo
weight for the roof rack system,
including the weight of the cross rails
and any other accessories used to
carry the cargo such as bike racks or
roof boxes. The maximum cargo
weight that can be loaded onto the
roof rack system is 100 kg (220 lb) or
the weight designated in the
instructions that came with the cross
rails or other roof rack accessories,
whichever is less.
{Warning
Never load the roof rack with more
weight than specified in this
section. Loading cargo on the roof
rack will make the vehicle's center
of gravity higher. To avoid losing
control of the vehicle, avoid
overloading, high speeds, sudden
starts, sharp turns, sudden braking,
or abrupt maneuvers when carrying
cargo on the roof rack.
The weight of any cargo carried on the
roof rack system must be included in
calculating the loaded weight of the

maintenance schedule for changing
engine oil.
This light should come on briefly as

The security light should come on
briefly as the engine is started. If it
does not come on, have the vehicle
