2. Slide the cross rails to the appropri-
ate position for loading the luggages
and turn the side knobs clockwise to
tighten the cross rails securely.
There are cross rail stoppers on the roof
rails which help you prevent the cross
rails being touched with the tilted up moon
roof.
NOTICE
Do not remove the cross rail stop-
pers, or the moon roof may be dam-
aged when it is tilted.
3. In order to fix the cross rails to the
appropriate length, turn the upper
knobs clockwise after tightening all
of the side knobs.
CAUTION
Make sure the cross rails are fixed
securely by pushing forward and rear-
ward them. Failure to do so may
cause an unexpected accident or se-
vere injury in the event of emergency
braking or a collision.
Follow the manufacture’s instructions and
precautions when installing the attach-
ments or their equivalent.
CAUTION
When you load cargo on the roof lug-
gage carrier, observe the following:
!
Place the cargo so that its weight
is distributed evenly between the
front and rear axles.
!
If loading long or wide cargo, never
exceed the vehicle overall length or
width. (See “Dimensions and
weights” on page 316 for informa-
tion on your vehicle overall length
and width.)
!
Before driving, make sure the cargo
is securely fastened on the roof
luggage carrier.
!
Loading cargo on the roof luggage
carrier will make the center of the
vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high
speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,
sudden braking or abrupt maneu-
vers, otherwise it may result in loss
of control or vehicle rollover due to
failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly.
