Installing carrying attachments on
the crossbars
When installing any carrying attachment
such as a bike carrier, ski carrier, kayak
carrier, cargo basket, etc. on the cross-
bars, follow the manufacturer
’
s instruc-
tions and make sure that the attachment is
securely fixed to the crossbars. Use only
attachments designed specifically for the
crossbars. A set of the crossbars is
designed to carry loads (cargo and attach-
ment) of not more than
67.5 kg (150 lbs)
.
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.
.
Restore the bars to the original
position when the bars are not used
as crossbars.

How to use as crossbars
CAUTION
.
For cargo carrying purposes, the
bars must be used as crossbars
and be used together with the
genuine SUBARU carrying at-
tachment or an equivalent. The
bars must never be used alone to
carry cargo.
.
Do not raise the bar higher than
necessary. The base of the bar
may be damaged.
.
Be careful not to contact the bars
while sliding them. Otherwise,
the bars may be scratched or
the latch portions may be da-
maged.
.
Do not slide the bar more than
necessary when sliding the bar.
The base of the bar may be
damaged.
.
Do not allow the bar to fall on or
contact the roof panel or the
sunroof when sliding the bar.
Otherwise the roof panel may be
dented or the glass of the sun-
roof may be damaged.
1. Pull out the integrated crossbars from
the roof rail holders by pulling up the
covers.
2. Slide the bars in the direction shown in
the illustration.
