Roof Rack

Your vehicle may come equipped with roof rack rails. If your vehicle is equipped with roof rack rails, you can add roof rack crossbars as an accessory (not shown).

NOTICE

• If the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof, do not position the cargo onto the roof side rails in such a way that it may interfere with sunroof operation.
• Always take precautions to make sure the cargo does not damage the roof.
• When carrying large objects on the roof side rails, make sure they do not exceed the overall roof length or width.
• When carrying cargo on the roof side rails, take necessary precautions to make sure the cargo does not damage the roof of the vehicle.
• When carrying large objects on the roof side rails, make sure they do not exceed the overall roof length or width.

WARNING

• Loading cargo or luggage in excess of the specified weight limit on the roof side rails may damage your vehicle.
  
• Avoid sudden starts, braking, sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or high speeds that may result in loss of vehicle control or rollover resulting in a collision. The vehicle center of gravity is higher when items are loaded onto the roof side rails.
• Always drive slowly and turn corners carefully when carrying items on the roof side rails. Severe wind updrafts caused by passing vehicles or natural causes, can cause sudden upward pressure on items loaded on the roof side rails. This is especially true when carrying large, flat items such as wood panels or mattresses. This may cause the items to fall off the roof side rails and cause damage to your vehicle or others around you.
• To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check frequently before or while driving to make sure the items on the roof side rails are securely fastened.
