Cargo can be carried on the roof after securing the crossbars to the roof rails and installing an appropriate carrying attachment.
When installing crossbars and a carrying attachment, follow the manufacturer's instructions. The roof rail system is designed to carry loads (cargo, crossbars and carrying attachment) of no more than 150 lbs (68 kg). Be sure not to exceed your vehicle's GVWR and GAWR.
CAUTION
Overloading may cause damage to the vehicle.
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.
