Rear Storage Area
There are four small storage compartments in the rear
of your vehicle. One is on the passenger’s side, two are
on the driver’s side and one is on the oor by the tailgate.
To remove the covers, lift up on the tabs. If your vehicle
has the 10-speaker system, the compartment on the
passenger’s side and the long compartment on the
driver’s side will be equipped with speakers.
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 with crossrails 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. Some vehicles may not
have the crossrails.
Notice:Damage may be caused to the roof of your
vehicle if anything is placed directly on the roof.

To adjust the crossrail(s), the sunroof stop (A),
if equipped, must be removed.
To remove the sunroof stop, do the following:
1. Find the tool (B) located in a bag in the glove box
labeled TOOL KIT-ACSRY.
2. Use the tool to remove the screw located in the
side rail assembly in front of the front crossrail.
3. Repeat for the other side.
4. Put the tool and the screws back in the plastic bag
in the glove box.To adjust the crossrails, lift the release levers on each
side to unlock them. Slide the crossrails forward or
backward, as needed, to accommodate loads of
various sizes.
After repositioning the crossrails, push the release lever
down. This will lock the crossrails in place.
Notice:Opening the sunroof when the luggage
rack crossrails are not in the full-rear position could
cause damage to the sunroof or luggage rack.
Verify the luggage rack crossrails are in the full-rear
position before opening the sunroof.
When you are done using the crossrails you must
replace the sunroof stop.
To replace the sunroof stop, do the following:
1. Put the crossrails in the full rear position.
2. Using the tool, put the screws back into each side
rail assembly. Make sure the screws are in the
rst hole in front of the crossrail.
2-42

Notice:Opening the sunroof when the luggage
rack crossrails are not in the full-rear position could
cause damage to the sunroof or luggage rack.
Verify the luggage rack crossrails are in the full-rear
position before opening the sunroof.
Press the rear of the switch to open the sunroof to
the vent position. The sunshade must be opened
by hand.
Press and release the rear of the switch a second time
to express-open the sunroof. The sunshade will open
with the sunroof. Press the switch in either direction
to stop it from moving. If the rear of the switch is pressed
and held, the express-open operation will be overridden.
To close the sunroof, press and hold the front of
the switch.Vehicle Personalization
In addition to the following features, your vehicle may
also have features that can be programmed through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-64for more information.
Memory Seat
If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls are
located on the driver’s
door panel and are used
to store and recall the
driver’s seat position and
the outside rearview
mirror position.
The settings for these features can be personalized
for both driver 1 and driver 2. Driver 1 and driver 2
correspond to the memory buttons labeled 1 and 2
on the driver’s door.

Care of Your CDs and DVDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from direct
sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the bottom
surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD is damaged,
such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD will
not play properly or not at all. If the surface of a CD is
soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean,
soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed
with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process
starts from the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while handling
it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs by
grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and
the outer edge.
Care of the CD and DVD Player
The use of CD lens cleaners for CDs is not advised,
due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics
with lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The xed mast antenna can withstand most car washes
without being damaged. If the mast should ever
become slightly bent, straighten it out by hand. If the
mast is badly bent, replace it.
Check occasionally to make sure the mast is still
tightened to the fender. If tightening is required, tighten
by hand, then with a wrench one quarter turn.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
The XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof
of your vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and
ice build up for clear radio reception.
If your vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of the
XM™ system may be affected if the sunroof is open.
Loading items onto the roof of your vehicle can interfere
with the performance of the XM™ system. Make sure
the XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is not obstructed.
