When loading the roof, obey the capacity limitations and think
about the
positioning of items before securing them in place. The
shape, weight and size of the items loaded onto the roof can
change the handling characteristics of the vehicle. Plan in advance
how everything will be tied down and positioned. Long items such
as canoes or surf boards may have some overhang. Remember
that this can not only alter the height of the vehicle, but the length
too.
WARNING:
Failure to follow the instructions and
precautions above
and in the Overview
subsection could result in serious injury and
death.
When you have a load on your roof, the risk of
injury and
death from rollover may be
increased. The object on the roof may
concentrate the load of your overturning
Grenadier, resulting in localized damage and an
increased risk of serious injury and death.
TRAILER AND HITCH-MOUNTED DEVICES
Your Grenadier
can carry cargo on a trailer or a hitch-mounted
cargo carrying device. If you elect to use those options remember
the capacity limitations mentioned above, as well as those in the
Towing a Trailer section. Also abide by the instructions and
precautions of the trailer or device manufacturer and local laws.
Never allow cargo on a carrier to obscure your Grenadier’s
taillights.
OTHER DEVICES INAPPROPRIATE FOR CARRYING CARGO WHILE DRIVING
Exterior Utility Belt (If equipped)
Your
Grenadier may have been ordered with the optional Exterior
Utility Belt, similar to the Interior Utility Rails that may be on the
î µoor of the cargo area. They run along the vehicle's exterior,
including the side, both doors, and beneath the cargo area
windows. They come with four Quick Release Tie-Down Rings to
attach your gear while your Grenadier is parked. Do not use them
to hang gear while under way.
To use these rings, rotate them to align the point with the clip,
press the release button, and slide the clip sideways. This allows
for easy adjustment or removal of the tie-down ring along the belt
as needed.
