Luggage Carrier
If your vehicle has this feature, you can load cargo
on your vehicle.
The luggage carrier consists of siderails attached
to the roof. The crossrails attach into the
siderails and can be moved back and forth to
accommodate various cargo sizes.
Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage carrier
that weighs more than 250 lbs. (113 kg) or
hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle may
damage your vehicle. Load cargo only on
top of the crossrails and tie the cargo down to
the crossrail support cargo tie-down loops,
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 289.

Stop Tabs
If your vehicle has a sunroof, it will have a
crossrail stop tab placed in the siderail. This tab
prevents you from moving the crossrails past
the opening of the sunroof and loading cargo too
far forward.
Your vehicle may have cargo tie downs. Once you
load the cargo onto the crossrails, secure it by
tying it down to the cargo tie downs. Do not load
cargo directly on the roof of your vehicle. See
Cargo Tie Downs on page 146for more
information.
Rear Storage Area
Your vehicle has a rear storage area located on
the passenger’s side of the cargo area. To
open, pull the two tabs out and open lid.
Convenience Net
Your vehicle may have a convenience net in the
rear of the vehicle. Put small loads behind the net.
The net is not for heavier loads. Store them as
far forward as you can.
Cargo Cover
Notice:If you put items onto the cargo cover,
the weight of the items could cause the
attachment clips to break. You would no longer
be able to attach and use the cargo cover.
The repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Never put anything on top of
the cargo cover.
If your vehicle has a cargo cover, you can use it
to cover items in the rear of the vehicle. Remove
the cover from its pouch and place the loops
found on each corner of the cover, over the
two pegs in each corner of the rear if the vehicle.
When it is not in use, fold up the cover and
return it to the pouch.
Cargo Tie Downs
Your vehicle may have four cargo tie-downs.
These tie-downs are located in tracks on the roof
of the vehicle. Each tie-down can be moved to
anywhere on the track. To loosen, turn the
tie-down counterclockwise until it moves freely in
the track. To tighten, turn the tie-down clockwise.

Ashtray(s) and Cigarette Lighter
Your vehicle may have an ashtray and cigarette
lighter.
Your ashtray is located in your center console
area. The ashtray can be removed for cleaning.
When the ashtray is removed, this area can
also be used as a cupholder.
Notice:If you put papers, pins, or other
ammable items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes
or other smoking materials could ignite
them and possibly damage your vehicle.
Never put ammable items in the ashtray.
To use the lighter, press it in all the way, and let
go. When it’s ready, it will pop back out by itself.

is heating will not allow the lighter to back
away from the heating element when it is hot.
Damage from overheating may occur to the
lighter or heating element, or a fuse could
be blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter
in while it is heating.
