Center Overhead Console
Your vehicle may have an overhead console
with reading lights and a small storage area.
Press the button next to the light to turn it
on and off.
Front Armrest Storage Area
Your vehicle may have a center armrest storage
compartment in the front bench seat.
To open it, fold down the armrest and press the
latch handle located at the front of the armrest.
Then, let the cover pop up and swing open.
Center Console Storage Area
Your vehicle may have a console compartment

be used to load things on top of the vehicle.
The luggage carrier has siderails attached to the
roof. It may also have crossrails which can be
moved back and forth to help secure cargo. Tie
the load to the siderails or siderail 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.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity
when loading your vehicle. For more information
on vehicle capacity and loading, seeLoading
Your Vehicle on page 402.
171

To prevent damage or loss of cargo while you are
driving, check now and then to make sure the
luggage and cargo are still securely fastened.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded.
If small heavy objects are placed on the roof,
cut a piece of 3/8 inch plywood to t inside
the crossrails and siderails to spread the load.
Tie the plywood to the siderail supports.
Tie the load to the crossrails or the siderail
supports. Use the crossrails only to keep
the load from sliding. To move a crossrail, turn
the release knobs, on both sides of the rail,
counterclockwise to loosen it. Slide the
crossrail to the desired position balancing the
force side to side. Turn the release knobs,
on both sides of the rail, clockwise to tighten
it. Try to slide the crossrail back and forth
slightly to be sure it is tight.
If you need to carry long items, move the
crossrails as far apart as they will go. Tie
the load to the crossrails and the siderails
or siderail supports. Also tie the load to
the bumpers. Do not tie the load so tightly
that the crossrails or siderails are damaged.
After moving a crossrail, be sure it is securely
locked into the siderail.
Your vehicle has a Center High-Mounted
Stoplamp (CHMSL) located above the rear glass.
If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle,
care should be taken not to block or damage
the CHMSL unit.
