J Installing carrying attachments on the cross bars
When installing any carrying attachment such as a bike carrier, ski carri-
er, canoe carrier, etc. on the cross bars, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and make sure that the attachment is securely fixed to the
cross bars. Use only attachments designed specifically for the cross-
bars. A set of the cross bars is designed to carry loads (luggage and
attachment) of not more than 100 lb. (45 kg). Before operating the
vehicle, make sure that the cargo 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.
