Nissan Rogue (T33) 2021-Present Owner’s Manual & User Guide: Roof rack

Type A

The roof rack system of the Nissan Rogue is designed for use only with properly installed cross bars. Never place any cargo directly on the roof side rails, as cross bars are required to support the load safely and maintain structural balance.

The service load capacity of the roof side rails is 163 lb (74 kg). Do not exceed the capacity of the accessory cross bars, and ensure the overall vehicle load stays within the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).

WARNING

• Always install cross bars before loading cargo. Placing items directly on the side rails or roof may cause damage.
• Drive carefully when the vehicle is loaded near the roof rack limit, especially if a significant portion of the weight is on the cross bars.
• Heavy rooftop cargo may affect vehicle stability and handling during sudden maneuvers.
• Distribute cargo evenly along the cross bars.
• Do not exceed the maximum roof rack load.
• Secure all cargo with proper straps to prevent shifting, which could cause injury during a sudden stop or collision.

CAUTION

Use care when lifting items onto the roof rack. If a load cannot be comfortably lifted from the ground, use a ladder or stool.

Type B

Roof rack (for Rock Creek)

Genuine Nissan accessory roof rack attachments for the Rock Creek model can be purchased from a Nissan dealer. Always follow recommended usage instructions to ensure proper load support.

The service load capacity of the Rock Creek roof side rails is 220 lb (100 kg). Always confirm that the GVWR and GAWR limits of the vehicle are not exceeded when loading the roof rack.

WARNING

• Install cross bars before loading any cargo on the roof rack. Placing cargo directly on the rack or roof may damage the vehicle.
• Do not exceed maximum roof rack load capacity and always distribute weight evenly.
• Secure all cargo with appropriate straps to prevent shifting that could cause injury in an accident.
• Drive with extra caution when the roof rack is heavily loaded, as stability may be affected.

CAUTION

• Exercise caution when placing or removing items from the roof rack. Use a ladder if needed.
• Do not place loads directly on the roof rack surface. Use soft padding to protect the paint, seals, and supports from rough materials.
