Luggage Carrier
{CAUTION:
If something is carried on top of the vehicle that is
longer or wider than the luggage carrier — like
paneling, plywood, or a mattress— the wind can
catch it while the vehicle is being driven. This can
cause a driver to lose control. The item being
carried could be violently torn off, and this could
cause a collision, and damage the vehicle. Items
may be carried inside. Never carry something
longer or wider than the luggage carrier on top of
the vehicle.
If your vehicle has a luggage carrier, it will allow you
to load things on top of your vehicle. The luggage carrier
has side rails attached to the roof, places to use for
tying things down and may have sliding crossrails.
These let you load some other things on top of your
vehicle, as long as they are not wider or longer than the
luggage carrier.
2-54

To slide the crossrails to where you want them, pull up
on the lever on each side of the crossrail. This
releases the crossrail and allows you to slide it. When
the crossrail is where you want it, press down on
the levers to lock it into place.
Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that
weighs more than 220 lbs (100 kg) or hangs over the
rear or 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.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, seeLoading the Vehicle on
page 4-33.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are driving,
check now and then to make sure the luggage carrier
is locked and cargo is still securely fastened.
When the luggage carrier is not in use, place the
crossrails at the following positions for wind noise
reduction. Place one crossrail at the rear most point of
the vehicle and the other crossrail above the opening
of the rear door.Rear Floor Storage Cover
