The fourth position is with the front corners placed in
the lower guides closest to the rear seat for suboor
access. Do not drive while the panel is in this position.
The panel can be used as a cargo cover for the
rear area. It has hooks underneath for shopping bags.
Your vehicle may have a cargo mat that covers the
panel/cargo cover.
Roof Rack System
Your vehicle may be equipped with a roof rack system.
{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.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
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.
Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that
weighs more than 150 lbs (68 kg) or hangs over
the rear sides of the vehicle may damage your
vehicle. Load cargo so that it rests on the slats as
far forward as possible and against the side
rails making sure to fasten it securely.
Notice:Loading cargo directly on the roof of the
vehicle may cause damage to the vehicle and would
not be covered under warranty. Do not place
cargo on the roof 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 4-27.

To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are driving,
check frequently to ensure your cargo is securely
fastened.
The roof rack system has siderails that are attached to
the roof. All cargo must be loaded on the luggage
carrier crossrails only.
Use GM accessory racks that are compatible with
your roof rack system, these are available at your
GM dealer.
Convenience Net
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. The metal
rings in the cargo area can be used to attach the
convenience net for several uses. The net can be used
to attach items secured to the oor, to the rear liftgate
or liftgate glass. The net is not for larger, heavier loads.
Hideaway Rear Storage Bins
Your vehicle may have two storage bins located in the
rear of the vehicle. Pull up on the handles to open
and lift the lid. Use the key to lock/unlock the bins.

FM Stereo
FM stereo gives the best sound, but FM signals only
reach about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings
or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the
sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM™ Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio
reception from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM,
tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio
signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. In
addition, traveling or standing under heavy foliage,
bridges, garages, or through tunnels could cause loss of
the XM signal for a period of time. The radio may
display NO XM SIGNAL to indicate interference.
Fixed Mast Antenna
This type of antenna is called a xed mast antenna. It is
mounted at the center of the roof, just behind the
windshield.
The mast antenna can withstand most car washes
without being damaged. If the mast should ever become
slightly bent, straighten it out by hand. If the mast is
badly bent, replace it.Check occasionally to make sure the mast is still
tightened to the roof. If tightening is required, tighten
by hand.
If you are putting a protective cover over the vehicle,
remove the mast by hand.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
The XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is located at the rear
of the vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and
ice build up for clear radio reception.
If your vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of the
XM™ system may be affected if the sunroof is open.
If your vehicle has a roof rack, loading items onto
the roof of your vehicle can interfere with the
performance of the XM™ system. Make sure the XM™
Satellite Radio antenna is not obstructed.
