In addition, the total weight applied to each axle

(GAW) must never exceed the GAWR. The front and

rear GAWs can be adjusted by relocating luggage

inside the vehicle.

Even if the total weight of your luggage is lower than

the vehicle capacity weight, either front or rear GAW

may exceed the GAWR, depending on the distribu-

tion of the luggage.

If you carry heavy loads in the vehicle, you should

confirm that GVW and front and rear GAWs are with-

in the GVWR and GAWR by putting your vehicle on

a vehicle scale, found at a commercial weighing sta-

tion.

Do not use replacement tires with a lower load

range than the originals because they may lower the

GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement tires

with a higher load range than the originals do not in-

crease the GVWR and GAWR limitations.

The roof rail is not designed to carry cargo by itself.

Cargo can be carried after securing the roof cross-

bar kit to the roof rail and installing the appropriate

carrying attachment. When installing the roof cross-

bar kit, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

When you carry cargo on the roof using the roof

crossbar kit and a carrying attachment, never ex-

ceed the maximum load limit explained below. You

should also be careful that your vehicle does not ex-

ceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and

front and rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
