Roof luggage carrier precautions (vehicles with roof rails)
To use the roof rails as a roof luggage carrier, you must fit the roof rails with
two or more genuine Toyota cross rails or their equivalent.
When you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier, observe the following:
●
Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the vehi-
cle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly and result in
death or serious injury.
●
If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the
vehicle now and then during the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its
place.
●
Do not exceed 75 kg (165 lb.) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
●
Place the cargo so that its weight is dis-
tributed evenly between the front and
rear axles.
●
If loading long or wide cargo, never
exceed the vehicle overall length or
width. (

Before driving, make sure the cargo is
securely fastened on the roof luggage
carrier.
