Tie the load to the crossrails or the siderail
supports. Use the crossrails only to keep
the load from sliding. To move the crossrails,
pull out on the latch release handle at
each end. Slide the crossrail to the desired
position balancing the force side to side. Push
the release handle back into the latched
position and slide the crossrail back and forth
slightly to be sure the latch snaps securely
into place.
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.
For the purpose of wind noise reduction,
locate the front crossrail approximately
18 to 24 inches (46 to 58 cm) rearward of the
front supports.
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.
Rear Storage Area
Your vehicle may have a storage compartment
located in the rear cargo area of the vehicle in the
driver’s side trim panel.
To open the utility compartment, turn the knobs
and swing the compartment door open. The
compartment door can be removed.
Convenience Net
The convenience net (if equipped) in the rear of
your vehicle helps to keep small loads in place
during sharp turns or quick stops and starts.
The net is not designed for larger, heavier items.
To install the net, attach the hooks to the
raised cargo tie downs. Then, attach the cord
loops to the button retainers in the side trim.
You can unhook the net so that it will lie at when
you’re not using it.
