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.If your vehicle has a luggage carrier, it will allow
you to load things on top of your vehicle. The
luggage carrier has side rails attached to the roof,
places to use for tying things down and may
have sliding crossrails. These let you load some
other things on top of your vehicle, as long as they
are not wider or longer than the luggage carrier.
To slide the crossrails to where you want
them, pull up on the lever on each side of the
crossrail. This releases the crossrail and allows
you to slide it. When the crossrail is where
you want it, press down on the levers to lock it
into place.
Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage carrier
that weighs more than 220 lbs (100 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 356.
162
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are
driving, check now and then to make sure
the luggage carrier is locked and cargo is still
securely fastened.
When the luggage carrier is not in use, place the
crossrails at the following positions for wind
noise reduction. Place one crossrail at the rear
most point of the vehicle and the other crossrail
above the opening of the rear door.

{CAUTION:
If any removable convenience item is not
secured properly, it can move around in a
collision or sudden stop. People in the
vehicle could be injured. Be sure to
secure any such item properly.
