WARNING

• In the Nissan Armada, always install the crossbars onto the roof side rails before placing any cargo. Loading items directly onto the roof rails or roof surface may result in vehicle damage.
• Ensure that Nissan Armada roof rack crossbars are mounted evenly and securely to maintain proper balance.
• Never exceed the specified load capacity of the Nissan Armada roof rack crossbars, and always distribute weight uniformly.
• Excessive or uneven loading on the Nissan Armada roof rack may negatively impact vehicle stability, especially during sharp turns or sudden maneuvers.
• Secure all cargo properly using ropes or straps to prevent shifting. Unsecured cargo on the Nissan Armada roof rack can become dangerous in emergency situations.
• Drive with extra caution when the Nissan Armada is carrying roof cargo, particularly when approaching maximum load limits.
• When using the side step to access the roof of the Nissan Armada, ensure the door is open. Standing on the step with the door closed may lead to loss of balance and injury.

CAUTION
