Center Console Storage A console compartment is located between the bucket
seats.
The console has both an upper and lower storage bin
accessed by lifting up on the latches located at the front
of the console lid.
The console may have an accessory power outlet
inside. See Accessory Power Outlet(s) on page 4 ‑ 19 .
The rear of the console also has a cupholder that
swings down for the rear seat passengers to use.
Assist Handles Assist handles located above the rear passenger doors
can be used when getting out of the vehicle. Pull the
handles downward to use them.
Garment Hooks There are garment hooks located on the assist handles. Roof Rack System
{ WARNING: If something is carried on top of the vehicle that is
longer or wider than the roof rack — like paneling,
plywood, or a mattress — the wind can catch it
while the vehicle is being driven. The item being
carried could be violently torn off, and this could
cause a collision, and damage the vehicle. Never
carry something longer or wider than the roof rack
on top of the vehicle unless using a GM Certified
accessory carrier.
For vehicles with a roof rack, the rack can be used to
load items. For roof racks that do not have crossrails
included, GM Certified crossrails can be purchased as
an accessory. See your dealer for additional
information.
For vehicles with crossrails, they can be moved back
and forth to help secure cargo. To adjust them,
turn the knob located at each end of the crossrail
counterclockwise until the crossrail can move freely. To
secure the crossrail, turn the knob located at each end
of the crossrail clockwise until tightened. Tie the load to
the siderails or siderail supports.

Notice: Loading cargo on the roof rack that weighs
more than 91 kg (200 lbs) or hangs over the rear or
sides of the vehicle may damage the vehicle. Load
cargo so that it rests evenly between the crossrails,
making sure to fasten cargo securely.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo when driving, check
to make sure crossrails and cargo are securely
fastened. Loading cargo on the roof rack will make the
vehicle ’ s center of gravity higher. Avoid high speeds,
sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt
maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control.
If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high
speeds, occasionally stop the vehicle to make sure the
cargo remains in its place.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading the vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see Loading the Vehicle
on
page 6 ‑ 32 .
To prevent damage or loss of cargo, check now and
then to make sure the luggage and cargo are still
securely fastened.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded. .
If small heavy objects are placed on the roof, place
the load in the area over the rear wheels (behind
the rear side door on extended models). If needed,
cut a piece of 3/8 inch plywood to fit inside the
crossrails and siderails to spread the load.
If plywood is used, tie it to the siderail supports. .
Tie the load to the crossrails or the siderail
supports. Use the crossrails only to keep the load
from sliding. To move the crossrails, pull out on the
latch release handle at each end. Slide the
crossrail to the desired position balancing the force
side to side. Push the release handle back into the
latched position and slide the crossrail back and
forth slightly to be sure the latch snaps securely
into place. .
If needed to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as they will go. Tie the load to the
crossrails and the siderails or siderail supports.
Also tie the load to the bumpers. Do not tie the
load so tightly that the crossrails or siderails are
damaged. .
After moving a crossrail, be sure it is securely
locked into the siderail.
A Center High-Mounted Stoplamp (CHMSL) is located
above the glass or above the rear load doors.
If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle, care
should be taken not to block or damage the
CHMSL unit.
