• Loading cargo or luggage in excess of
the specified weight limit on the roof
side rails may damage your vehicle.
• Avoid sudden starts, braking, sharp
turns, abrupt maneuvers, or high
speeds that may result in loss of vehicle
control or rollover resulting in a
collision. The vehicle center of gravity is
higher when items are loaded onto the
roof side rails.
• Always drive slowly and turn corners
carefully when carrying items on the
roof side rails. Severe wind updrafts
caused by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden upward
pressure on items loaded on the roof
side rails. This is especially true when
carrying large, flat items such as wood
panels or mattresses. This may cause
the items to fall off the roof side rails
and cause damage to your vehicle or
others around you.
• To prevent damage or loss of cargo
while driving, check frequently before
or while driving to make sure the items
on the roof side rails are securely
fastened.
Hitch mounted accessories
The maximum load for a hitch mounted
accessory, with the weigh of the
accessory and the load, is 220 lbs. (100
kg). This would include bicycle racks,
wheel chair racks, etc. The center of the
weight must be within 19 inches (0.5 m) of
the bumper. If the weight is further away,
the capacity is reduced up to 10% per
inch.
• The weight of the rack and load must be
reduced from the vehicle carrying
capacity. For more information, refer to
the “Vehicle Load Limit” section in
chapter 6.
