Nissan Murano: Storage / Roof rack (if so equipped)

Do not apply any load directly to the roof side rails. Cross bars must be installed before applying load/cargo/luggage to the roof of the vehicle. Genuine NISSAN accessory cross bars are available through a NISSAN dealer. It is recommended that you visit a NISSANdealer for additional information.

The service load capacity for the roof side rails is 165 lbs. (74 kg.), however do not exceed the cross bars load capacity.

Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and rear).

For additional information regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer to:

• “Vehicle loading information” or the “Dimensions and weights” table in the “Technical and consumer information” section of this manual.
• F.M.V.S.S. or C.M.V.S.S. certification label (located on the driver’s door pillar) (if so equipped)

WARNING

• Always install the cross bars onto the roof side rails before loading cargo of any kind. Loading cargo directly onto the roof side rails or the vehicle’s roof may cause vehicle damage.
• 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 cross bars.
• Heavy loading of the cross bars has the potential to affect the vehicle stability and handling during sudden or unusual handling maneuvers.
• Roof rack cross bars should be evenly distributed.
• Do not exceed maximum roof rack cross bars load 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 LIC2386 injury.
