Caution: The handling characteristics of the vehicle changes when you transport a load on the roof. For safety reasons we

recommend you exercise extreme care when transporting wind-resistant loads. Special consideration must be taken into account

Maximum permissible load is 100kg (220lbs) for two cross bars including the weight of the cross bars, 7kg (15lbs). When cross

bars are to be used in off-road conditions, please build a safety factor of 1.5 into this load limit for off-road use, two cross bars =

66kg (145lbs). Although the cross bars are tested and approved to AS1235-2000, Off road conditions can be much more rigor-

ous. However, increasing the number of cross bars does not increase the vehicles maximum permissible roof loading.

Please refer to your fitting instruction to ensure roof racks are installed in the correct locations.
