longer or wider than the luggage carrier on top of
the vehicle.If you have the luggage carrier, you can load things on
top of your vehicle. Crossrails are not standard on
this vehicle and must be purchased at your dealer.

weighs more than 150 lbs (68 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 4-19.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are driving,
check now and then to make sure the cargo is still
