Driving tips
& Roof rail (if equipped)
roof rails must be used together
with the roof rack and any appropriate carrying attachment that
may be needed. The roof rails
must never be used alone to
carry cargo. Otherwise, damage
to the roof or paint, or a dangerous road hazard due to loss of
cargo could result.
& Roof molding and crossbar
(5-door models — if
equipped)

Roof rack
Luggage can be carried on the roof after
securing the roof rack to the roof rails.
When installing the roof rack on the roof
rails, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The roof rails are designed to carry
loads (luggage and roof rack) of not more
than 150 lbs (68 kg).
CAUTION
. When using the roof rack, make
sure that the total carrying load
of the roof rack and luggage does
not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg). Overloading may cause damage to
the vehicle.
. For cargo carrying purposes, the
Remember that the vehicle’s center of
gravity is altered with the weight of the
load on the roof, thus affecting driving
characteristics.
Drive carefully. Avoid rapid starts, hard
cornering and abrupt stops. Crosswind
effects will be increased.
CAUTION
. For cargo carrying purposes, the
roof molding must be used together with a roof crossbar kit
and the appropriate carrying attachment. Otherwise, damage to
the roof or paint or a dangerous
road hazard due to loss of cargo
could result.
. When using the roof crossbar kit,
make sure that the total weight of
the crossbars, carrying attachment and cargo does not exceed
the maximum load limit. Over-
