Roof rack (if equipped)
OOSEV048035
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof, be sure not to position cargo
onto the roof rack in such a way that it
could interfere with sunroof operation.
NOTICE
• When carrying cargo on the roof
rack, take the necessary precautions
to make sure the cargo does not
damage the roof of the vehicle.
• When carrying large objects on the
roof rack, make sure they do not
exceed the overall roof length or width.
WARNING
• The following specification is the
maximum weight that can be loaded
onto the roof rack. Distribute the
load as evenly as possible onto the
roof rack and secure the load firmly.
• Loading cargo or luggage in excess
of the specified weight limit on the
roof rack may damage your vehicle.
ROOF
RACK 80 kg (176 lbs.)
EVENLY DISTRIBUTED
• The vehicle center of gravity will
be higher when items are loaded
onto the roof rack. Avoid sudden
starts, braking, sharp turns, abrupt
maneuvers or high speeds that may
result in loss of vehicle control or
rollover resulting in an accident.
• Always drive slowly and turn corners
carefully when carrying items on
the roof rack. Severe wind updrafts,
caused by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden upward
pressure on items loaded on the
roof rack. This is especially true
when carrying large, flat items such
as wood panels or mattresses. This
could cause the items to fall off the
roof rack and cause damage to your
vehicle or others around you.
• To prevent damage or loss of cargo
while driving, check frequently
before or while driving to make
sure the items on the roof rack are
securely fastened.
