Center Console Storage Area
Your vehicle has a center console armrest with
storage area. Use the lever on the front of
the console to open it.
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 the
vehicle has them, 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 lock in ve positions along
the straight section of the side rail.
138

Press the levers down until the locking
mechanisms fully engage to the side rail. Make
sure each lever is in the down position. The
crossrail will not slide when properly engaged.
To move the crossrail, pull up on the end levers on
each side of the crossrail to the upright position.
This will release the locking mechanism from
the siderail. Lift and place the crossrail into the
new position. Press the levers down until the
locking mechanisms fully engage to the side rail.
Make sure each lever is in the down position.
The crossrail will not slide when properly engaged.
Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage
carrier that weighs more than 150 lbs (68 kg)
or hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle
may damage your vehicle. When loading
cargo, tie it to the crossrail and against the
siderail. Lock the crossrails to the far forward
and backward location to make sure the
load is evenly distributed on the luggage
carrier.Do not stand on the plastic lower body panel
when loading cargo on the luggage carrier.
Loading cargo on the luggage carrier will make
the center of vehicle gravity higher. Avoid
high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking or abrupt maneuvers. This could result
in loss of control of the vehicle.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity
when loading your vehicle. For more information
on vehicle capacity and loading, seeLoading Your
Vehicle on page 321
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are
driving, check now and then to make sure
the luggage carrier crossrails are locked and
cargo is still securely fastened.
When the luggage carrier is not in use, store the
crossrail inside the vehicle. If not possible,
lock one crossrail at the rear most position on the
siderails and lock the other crossrail above the
opening of the rear door to reduce wind noise.
