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.
Your vehicle may have a luggage carrier that allows
you to load things on top of your vehicle. The luggage
carrier has side rails attached to the roof, sliding
crossrails, if equipped, 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 can be locked in
four positions only.
