If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
Crossbars and fixing components nee‐
ded to install the roof rack on your ve‐
hicle may be obtained from an author‐

be placed in the proper load carry‐
ing positions prior to placing items
onto the roof rack.

used to carry cargo, the crossbars
