Door Locks
A CAUTION:

and fall out. When
a door is locked, the inside handle won’t open
it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked door when you
slow down
or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the chance of being
thrown out
of the vehicle in a crash if the doors aren’t locked.
Wear safety belts properly, lock your doors, and you will be
far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Luggage Carrier
If you have a luggage carrier, you can load things on top of your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has slats and side rails attached to the roof, and cross
rails which can be moved fore and aft in the side rails to help secure cargo.
Tie the load to
the side rails or side rail supports. Use the cross rails mostly
for fore and aft stops.
NOTICE:
Loading cargo that weighs more than 200 pounds (90.6 kg) on
the luggage carrier may damage your vehicle. When you carry
large things, never let them hang over the rear or the sides of
your vehicle. Load your cargo
so that it rests on the slats and
does not scratch or damage the vehicle. Put the cargo against the
side rails and fasten it securely to the luggage carrier.
Don’t exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when loading your vehicle. For
more information on vehicle capacity and loading, see “Loading Your
Vehicle”
in the Index.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you’re driving, check now and then to
make sure the luggage carrier and cargo are still securely fastened.
Be sure
the cargo is properly loaded.
0 If small heavy objects are placed on the roof, place the load in the area
over the rear wheels (behind the rear side door on Suburbans).
If you
need
to, cut a piece of 3/8 inch plywood to fit inside the cross rails and
side rails to spread the load.
If plywood is used, tie it to the side rail
supports.
Tie the load to the cross rails or the side rail supports. Use the cross
rails
only to keep the load from sliding.
If you need to carry long items, move the cross rails as far apart as they
will go. Tie
the load to the cross rails and the side rails or side rail
supports. Also tie
the load to the bumpers. Do not tie the load so tightly
that the cross rails or side rails are damaged.
0 After moving the cross rails, be sure to tighten all the slider screws.
Trailer Wiring Harness
A 7-wire harness is stored under your vehicle along the rear frame
crossmember. The harness connects
to the underhood electrical center and
no connector, and should be wired by a qualified electrical technician.
