Storage
Roof Rack System
The vehicle may be equipped with side-rails
for a roof rack system. Cargo must be
secured with properly installed cross rails
and other accessories designed to carry
cargo. These can be purchased from your
dealer.
{
Warning
Before driving and occasionally during a
trip, check that the cargo is securely
fastened, that it rests evenly between the
cross rails and does not block the
vehicle's lights or windows. Never load
cargo directly on the roof of the vehicle
or allow cargo to hang over the rear or
sides of the vehicle. Never load cargo
without first properly installing cross rails
and other accessories designed to carry
cargo. Personal injury, death or damage
to the vehicle or other property may
occur.
If driving for a long distance, on rough
roads, or at high speeds, occasionally stop
the vehicle to make sure the cargo remains
in its place.
Cargo Weight Limits
Do not exceed the maximum cargo weight
for the roof rack system, which includes the
weight of the cross rails and any other
accessories used to carry the cargo such as
bike racks or roof boxes. The maximum
cargo weight that can be loaded onto the
roof rack system is 100 kg (220 lb) or the
weight designated in the instructions that
came with the cross rails or other roof rack
accessories, whichever is less.
{
Warning
Never load the roof rack with more
weight than specified in this section.
Loading cargo on the roof rack will make
the vehicle's centre of gravity higher. To
avoid losing control of the vehicle, avoid
overloading, high speeds, sudden starts,
sharp turns, sudden braking, or abrupt
manoeuvres when carrying cargo on the
roof rack.
The weight of any cargo carried on the roof
rack system must be included in calculating
the loaded weight of the vehicle. Do not
exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading the vehicle, including cargo carried
on the roof rack system and passengers and
cargo carried in the vehicle. For more
information on vehicle capacity and loading,
