ROOF RACK (if so equipped)

Always distribute the luggage evenly on the roof rack. Do not load more than 99 lb (45 kg) on the roof rails. Observe the maximum load limit shown on the cross- bars or roof carriers when you attach them on the roof rails. Contact an INFINITI dealer for crossbar or other equipment informa- tion.

Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and rear). The GVWR and GAWR are located on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V. M.S.S. certification label (located on the

drivers door pillar). For more information regarding GVWR and GAWR, see VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATIONin the 9. Techni- cal and consumer informationsection.

WARNING

.Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is loaded at or near the cargo carrying capacity, especially if the significant portion of that load is carried on the roof rack.

.Heavy loading of the roof rack has the potential to affect the vehicle stability and handling during sudden or unusual handling maneuvers.

.Roof rack load should be evenly dis- tributed.

.Do not exceed maximum roof rack load weight capacity.

.Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
