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. Ford Genuine Accessory

crossbars, designed specifically for your vehicle, are also recommended

for use with your roof rack system.

Make sure that the load is securely fastened. Check the tightness of the

load before driving and at each fuel stop.

Adjusting the Crossbars (If Equipped)

Note: Wind noise can be minimized by either removing or repositioning

the crossbars when they are not is use. Position the rear crossbar fully

rearward and the front crossbar 10 inches (25 centimeters) from the

front end-cap.

1. Loosen the tie-down hooks at both sides of the

crossbar by turning them counterclockwise. A

small screwdriver or similar tool can be used to

break the torque by inserting the shaft into the

tie-down hook and twisting.

2. Slide the crossbar to the desired position. This

may require someone on each side of the crossbar.

3. Tighten the tie-down hooks at both sides of the

crossbar by turning them clockwise until tight. A

small screwdriver or similar tool can be used to

tighten the hook an additional half turn.

Make sure to check that the tie-down hooks are tight each time a load is

added or removed from the roof rack, and periodically while traveling.

Make sure that the load is secure before traveling.
