Roof Rack (if equipped)

If the vehicle is equipped with a roof rack, you can load items on the roof of the vehicle.

NOTICE

If the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof or panoramic roof, make sure not to place cargo on the roof rack. This may interfere with the operation of the roof.

NOTICE

• Take care when loading items onto the roof rack so as not to damage the vehicle roof.
• When carrying large items on the roof rack, make sure they do not exceed the length or width of the roof.

WARNING

• Observe the following specifications for the maximum weight the roof rack can carry. Distribute the load as evenly as possible and secure the cargo firmly to the roof rack.
  
  If your cargo or luggage exceeds the specified weight limit for the roof rack, you risk damaging the vehicle.
• The center of gravity of the vehicle will be higher after loading items on the roof rack. Avoid sudden starts and stops, sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers or high speeds, which may lead to loss of vehicle control or rollover.
• When carrying items on the roof rack, drive slowly and carefully. Updrafts of air caused by a passing vehicle or natural causes may exert sudden upward pressure on items loaded on the rack, including when transporting large flat items such as wooden panels or mattresses.
  This may cause items to fall from the roof and damage your vehicle or vehicles around you.
• To avoid damage or loss while driving, frequently check before driving and while driving that items on the rack are properly secured.
