Loading Your Vehicle
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.
