For vehicles with a roof rack, the rack can be used to

included, GM Certified crossrails can be purchased as
an accessory. See your dealer/retailer for additional
information.

more than 75 kg (165 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.
Notice: Loading cargo directly on the roof of the

not be covered under warranty. Do not place cargo

To prevent damage or loss of cargo when driving, check
to make sure crossrails and cargo are securely

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.
