Luggage Carrier
If you have a luggage carrier, you can load things on
top of your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has side rails and crossrails
attached to the roof to secure cargo.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded. Follow these
guidelines:
Carrying small, heavy loads on the roof is not
recommended.
Tie the load to the side rails. Use the crossrails only
to keep the load from sliding.
If you need to carry long items, tie the load to the
side rails. Also tie the load to the bumpers. Do
not tie the load so tightly that the crossrails or side
rails are damaged.
After moving the crossrails, be sure to tighten all
the slider screws.
For the purpose of wind noise reduction, locate the
front and rear crossrails in line with the two center
supports.Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that
weighs more than 200 lbs (91 kg) or hangs over
the rear or sides of the vehicle may damage your
vehicle. Load cargo so that it rests on the slats
as far forward as possible and against the side rails,
making sure to fasten it securely.
Don’t exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, seeLoading Your Vehicle on
page 4-27.
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.
Convenience Net
You may have a convenience net in the rear of your
vehicle to help keep small loads, like grocery bags, in
place during sharp turns or quick stops and starts.
The net is not designed for larger, heavier items.
You can unhook the net so that it will lie at when you’re
not using it.
