Loading
Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center
of gravity when loaded, they have a major ef‐
fect on vehicle handling and steering re‐
sponse.
Therefore, note the following when loading
and driving:
▷
Do not exceed the approved roof/axle
loads and the approved gross vehicle
weight.
▷
Be sure that adequate clearance is main‐
tained for tilting and opening the glass
sunroof.
▷
Distribute the roof load uniformly.
▷
The roof load should not extend past the
loading area.
▷
Always place the heaviest pieces on the
bottom.
▷
Secure the roof luggage firmly, e.g., tie
with ratchet straps.
▷
Do not let objects project into the opening
path of the tailgate.
▷
Drive cautiously and avoid sudden acceler‐
ation and braking maneuvers. Take corners
gently.
