Luggage Carrier
{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.
A luggage carrier allows you to load things on top
of your vehicle. The luggage carrier has side
rails attached to the roof, sliding crossrails, if
equipped, and places to use for tying things down.These let you load some things on top of your
vehicle, as long as they are not wider or longer
than the luggage carrier.
The roof rack crossrails can be locked in
four positions only.

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 does 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.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band antenna is located on the roof of
your vehicle. This type of antenna is used with
an AM/FM radio, and if your vehicle has the
OnStar
®and/or the XM™ Satellite Radio Service
System. Keep this antenna clear of snow and
ice build up for clear radio reception. If your vehicle
has a sunroof, the performance of the radio
system may be affected if the sunroof is open.
Loading items onto the roof of your vehicle
can interfere with the performance of the radio
system and, if your vehicle has this feature,
OnStar
®. Make sure the multi-band antenna is
not obstructed.
