Roof Rack System
Your vehicle may be equipped with a roof rack
system.
{CAUTION:
If you try to carry something on top of
your vehicle that is longer or wider than
the luggage carrier — like paneling,
plywood, a mattress and so forth — the
wind can catch it as you drive along.This
can cause you to lose control. What you
are carrying could be violently torn off, and
this could cause you or other drivers to
have a collision, and of course damage
your vehicle. You may be able to carry
something like this inside. But, never carry
something longer or wider than the
luggage carrier on top of your vehicle.
Notice: Loading cargo on the luggage carrier
that weighs more than 150 lbs (68 kg) or hangs
over the rear sides of the vehicle may damage
your vehicle. Load cargo so that it rests on the
slats as far forward as possible and against the
side rails making sure to fasten it securely.
Notice: Loading cargo directly on the roof of
the vehicle may cause damage to the vehicle
and would not be covered under warranty.
Do not place cargo on the roof the vehicle.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity
when loading your vehicle. For more information
on vehicle capacity and loading, see Loading Your
