Cargo can be carried on the roof after securing the roof crossbars to the roof rails and installing the appropriate carrying attachments . When installing the roof crossbars and the carrying attachments , follow the manufacturer ’ s instructions . The roof rail system is designed to carry loads ( cargo , roof crossbars and carrying attachments ) of no more than 220 lbs ( 100 kg ). Be sure not to exceed your vehicle ’ s GVWR and GAWR .
CAUTION
. When using the carrying attachments , make sure that the total

carrying load of the cargo , roof crossbars and carrying attachments does not exceed 220 lbs ( 100 kg ). Overloading may cause damage to the vehicle . Read the manufacturer ’ s instructions and pay attention to not exceed the load limit of the parts .
. For cargo carrying purposes , the roof rails must be used together with the SUBARU recommended roof crossbars 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 .
NOTE
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 .
