{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 100 lbs (45 kg) or
hangs over the rear or 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.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity
when loading your vehicle. For more information
on vehicle capacity and loading, see Loading Your
Vehicle on page 279.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are
driving, check frequently to ensure your cargo
is securely fastened.
