ROOF RACK SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

Loads should never be placed directly on the roof panel. For proper
function of the roof rack system, loads must be placed directly on
crossbars affixed to the roof rack side rails. Your vehicle may be
equipped with factory-installed crossbars. Mazda Genuine Accessory
crossbars, designed specifically for your vehicle, are also recommended
for use with your roof rack system.

The vehicle’s roof panel is

NOT

designed to directly carry a load.

The

maximum recommended load is 100 lb (45 kg), evenly distributed
on the crossbars.

Ensure that the load is securely fastened. When the

rail system is loaded, check the tightness of the load, including the
thumbwheels before driving and at each fuel stop.

WARNING:

When loading the roof rail crossbars, it is

recommended to evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a

low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with higher centers of gravity,
may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such
as slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken
when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.

To adjust the cross-bar (if equipped) position:

1. Loosen the thumbwheel at both

ends of the cross-bar (both
cross-bars are adjustable).

2. Slide the cross-bar to the

desired location.

3. Tighten the thumbwheel at both

ends of the cross-bar.

To remove the cross-bar assembly (if equipped) from the roof rack
side rails:

1. Loosen the thumbwheel at both

ends of the cross-bar (both
cross-bars are adjustable).
