Roof Rack System
{CAUTION:
If you try to carry something on top of your
vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage
carrier—like paneling, plywood, a mattress
and so forth—the wind can catch it as you
drive along. This can cause you to lose
control. What you are carrying could be
violently torn off, and this could cause you or
other drivers to have a collision, and of course
damage your vehicle. You may be able to carry
something like this inside. But, never carry
something longer or wider than the luggage
carrier on top of your vehicle.If you have the luggage carrier, you can load things on
top of your vehicle. If you do load things on the top
of your vehicle, you must load them on the luggage
carrier crossrails.
Notice:Damage may be caused to the roof of your
vehicle if anything is placed directly on the roof.

Sunroof
If your vehicle has a

or when the ignition is off and retained accessory
power is active. See“Retained Accessory Power”under
Ignition Positions on page 2-19for more information.

carrier crossrails are not in the full rear position.
This could cause damage to the sunroof glass panel
and/or the crossrails. See“Roof Rack System”in
the Index for more information.
When vent opening the sunroof, the sunshade must be
opened by hand. Press the rear of the switch to vent
open the glass panel.
