ROOF RACKS AND LOAD
CARRIERS
Make sure that the load is securely
fastened. Check the tightness of the load
before driving and at each fuel stop.
WARNING:When loading the roof
racks, we recommend you evenly
distribute the load, as well as maintain
a low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles,
with higher centers of gravity, may
handle differently than unloaded
vehicles. Take extra precautions, such
as slower speeds and increased stopping
distance, when driving a heavily loaded
vehicle.
Adjusting the Crossbar(If Equipped)
Note: Wind noise can be minimized by
either removing or repositioning the crossbar
when not is use. Position the front crossbar
in the intermediate position to minimize
wind noise. The crossbar can be adjusted
or removed using the steps below.
