Roof Rack System

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.
This vehicle can be equipped with
roof rack crossrails. GM certified
crossrails can be purchased as an
accessory. See your dealer for

Notice:Loading cargo on the
roof rack that weighs more than
100 kg (220 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
the 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
Vehicle Load Limits on
page 9‑10.
To attach the crossrails, remove the
four covers on the roof.
The crossrails can only be locked
into the four places along the
roof rack.
Follow the crossrail instructions to
install.
Remove the crossrails and reinstall
the covers when not in use.
