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 422 in Section 8
for information 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.
!
If driving for a long distance, on
rough roads, or at high speeds,
stop the vehicle now and then dur-
ing the trip to make sure the cargo
remains in its place.
!
Do not exceed 46.2 kg (102.6 lb.)
cargo weight on the roof luggage
carrier.
NOTICE
When loading the luggages, be careful
not to scratch the surface of the
moon roof.
Use a floor mat of the correct size.
If the vehicle carpet and floor mat have
2 holes, then they are designed for use
with locking clips. Attach the floor mat to
the vehicle carpet using the clips. Lock
the clips into the holes in the vehicle
carpet.
