8-14 Driving tips

! Installing carrying attachments on

the crossbars

When installing any carrying attachment

such as a bike carrier, ski carrier, kayak

carrier, cargo basket, etc. on the cross-

bars, follow the manufacturer’s instruc-

tions and make sure that the attachment is

securely fixed to the crossbars. Use only

attachments designed specifically for the

crossbars. A set of the crossbars is

designed to carry loads (cargo and attach-

ment) of not more than 150 lbs (68 kg).

Before operating the vehicle, make sure

that the cargo is properly secured on the

attachment.

NOTE

Remember that the vehicle’s center of

gravity is altered with the weight of the

load on the roof, thus affecting the

driving characteristics.

Drive carefully. Avoid rapid starts, hard

cornering and abrupt stops. Crosswind

effects will be increased.

! Removal and installation of the

crossbars

The crossbars can be removed when you

do not use the roof to carry cargo.

! To remove the crossbar

1. Loosen and remove the T-30 torx®

head screw from the top of each crossbar

end support.

Loosen the lower clamps.

2. Carefully raise the crossbar from roof

rails.

screw on the back of each crossbar end

support is tightened correctly.

2. Before placing the crossbar on the roof

rails, make sure that the T-30 torx® head

screw is removed from the top of each
