LUGGAGE RACK (IF EQUIPPED)

The maximum recommended load is

220 lbs (100 kg) on the luggage

rack structure. The load must be

placed directly on the dealer

installed cross-bars (if equipped)

and luggage rack. The vehicle’s roof

panel is not designed to carry a

load.

When loading the luggage rack, it is recommended to evenly distribute

the load, as well as maintain a low center of gravity. Ensure that the load

is securely fastened.

Your fuel economy will decrease when you drive with items on the

luggage rack. When the rack is loaded, check the tightness of the rear

adjusting thumbwheel before driving and at each refueling stop.

Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle

differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as

slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken when

driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
