2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE roof

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
External racks do not increase the total load carrying
capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant
and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on the
luggage rack, do not exceed the rated vehicle capacity.
This vehicle is not equipped with roof rack cross rails as
built, unless ordered as optional equipment. Cross rails
must be installed prior to carrying loads on the roof rack.
If not equipped, your authorized dealer can order and
install Moparcross rails built specifically for this roof
rack system or a number of after market rails that are
tailored to your life-style or activities.NOTE:The optional cross rails have seven specific
locations identified by a feature on both the side rail and
the cross rail. Cross rails must be secured in one of the
seven detent locations on the side rail to prevent move-
ment with a sudden stop. For improved windnoise
performance when cross rails are not in use, place them
in detent positions #2 (second detent from the front of the
vehicle) and #7 (detent closest to the rear of the vehicle)
as indicated with a unique feature on the side rails.

CAUTION!
•To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO NOT
carry any loads on the roof rack without cross rails in-
stalled. The load should be secured and placed on top of the
cross rails, not directly on the roof. If it is necessary to place
the load on the roof, place a blanket or some other protec-
tion between the load and the roof surface.
•To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed
the rated load capacity of your cross rail system or the roof
rack system maximum load capacity of 150 lbs (68 kg).
Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible and
secure the load appropriately.
•Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as
wood panels or surfboards, should be secured to both the
front and rear of the vehicle.
•Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when
carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind forces,
due to natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can add
sudden upward loads. This is especially true on large flat
loads and may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before driving your
vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the
vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in
personal injury or property damage. Follow the roof
rack “Cautions” when carrying cargo on your roof
rack.

Satellite Antenna
To ensure optimum reception on vehicles available with
a luggage rack, do not place items on the roof around the
rooftop antenna location. Metal objects placed within the
line of sight of the antenna will cause decreased perfor-
mance. Larger luggage items should be placed as far
forward as possible. Do not place items directly on or
above the antenna.
Reception Quality
Satellite reception may be interrupted due to one of the
following reasons.
•The vehicle is parked in an underground parking
structure or under a physical obstacle.
•Dense tree coverage may interrupt reception.
•Driving under wide bridges or along tall buildings can
cause intermittent reception.
•Placing objects over or too close to the antenna can
cause signal blockage.
REMOTE SOUND SYSTEM CONTROLS — IF
EQUIPPED
The remote sound system controls are located on the rear
surface of the steering wheel. Reach behind the wheel to
access the switches.
