ter for information on loading cargo into or onto your

vehicle. The maximum load limit of the cargo, cross-

bars and carrying attachment must not exceed 100

lb. (45 kg). Place the heaviest load at the bottom,

nearest the roof, and evenly distribute the cargo. Al-

ways properly secure all cargo.

CAUTION

D For cargo carrying purposes, the roof rail

must be used together with a roof crossbar kit

and the appropriate carrying attachment. The

roof rail must never be used alone to carry

cargo. Otherwise, damage to the roof or paint

or a dangerous road hazard due to loss of car-

go could result.

D When using the roof crossbar kit, make sure

that the total weight of the crossbars, carrying

attachment and cargo does not exceed the

maximum load limit. Overloading may cause

damage to the vehicle and create a safety haz-

ard.

B Installing carrying attachments on the cross-

bars

When installing any carrying attachment such as a

bike carrier, ski carrier, kayak carrier, cargo basket,

etc. on the crossbars, follow the manufacturer’s

instructions and make sure that the attachment is

securely fixed to the crossbars. Use only attach-

ments designed specifically for the crossbars. A set

of the crossbars is designed to carry loads (cargo

and attachment) of not more than 100 lb. (45 kg).

Before operating the vehicle, make sure that the car-

go 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.

B Removal and installation of the crossbars

The crossbars can be removed when you do not

use the roof to carry cargo.

n To remove the crossbar

1. Loosen and remove the T–30 torxR head screw

from the top of each crossbar end support.

2. Rotate the lower clamp on the bottom of each

end support downward approximately 90°.

3. Carefully raise the crossbar from roof rails.
