2013 DODGE JOURNEY roof rack

NOTE:
•Should a vehicle rollover occur, the pretensioners
and/or SAB and SABIC air bags on both sides of the
vehicle may deploy.
•Air Bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim,
but they will open during air bag deployment.
•Being too close to the SAB and SABIC air bags during
deployment could cause you to be severely injured or
killed.
The system includes side impact sensors that are cali-
brated to deploy the SAB and SABIC air bags during
impacts that require air bag occupant protection.WARNING!
•Your vehicle is equipped with SABIC air bags, do
not have any accessory items installed which will
alter the roof, including adding a sunroof to your
vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require perma-
nent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation
on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the
vehicle for any reason.
•Your vehicle is equipped with left and right
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain
(SABIC), do not stack luggage or other cargo up
high enough to block the location of the SABIC.
The area where the SABIC is located should remain
free from any obstructions.
•Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects
between you and the side air bags; the performance
could be adversely affected and/or objects could be
pushed into you, causing serious injury.

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
The roof rack cross rails and side rails are designed to
carry cargo weight. The load must not exceed 150 lbs
(68 kg), and it should be distributed uniformly over the
cross rails. In addition, the roof rack does not increase the
total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the
total load of cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the roof
rack does not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.
NOTE:Metal crossbars are offered by MOPAR® acces-
sories. See your authorized dealer.
To Move The Cross Rails
1. Loosen the knobs on top of each cross rail approxi-
mately six turns to disengage the clamp tooth from the
side rail.
2.
Relocate the cross rails, aligning the cross rail stanchions
(end pieces) with one of the vertical marks on the
outboard surface of the side rail for proper positioning.There are four frontward marks for the front cross rail
and four rearward marks for the rear cross rail. Make
sure the cross rails remain equally spaced or parallel at
any position for proper function.
3. Tighten the knobs on each cross rail to lock it in
position. As you tighten the knob, make sure the
clamp tooth engages completely into the side rail slot.
4. Attempt to move the cross rail to ensure that it is
locked in position.
NOTE:
•To help control wind noise when installing the cross
rails, make sure the arrows marked on the underside
of the cross rails face the front of the vehicle.
•To help reduce the amount of wind noise when the
cross rails are not in use, fasten the front cross rail in
the fourth position from the front and the rear cross
rail in the eighth position. The tie down holes on the
286 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

cross rail ends should always be used to tie down the
load. Check the straps frequently to be sure that the
load remains securely attached.
CAUTION!
•Cross rails should remain equally spaced or paral-
lel at any luggage rack position for proper function.
Noncompliance could result in damage to the roof
rack, cargo, and vehicle.
•To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do
not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of
150 lbs (68 kg). Always distribute loads as evenly as
possible and secure the load appropriately.
•Long loads, which extend over the windshield,
such as wood panels or surfboards, or loads with
large frontal area should be secured to both the
front and rear of the vehicle.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
•Place a blanket or other protection between the
surface of the roof and the load.
•Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully
when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof
rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby
truck traffic, can add sudden upward lift to loads.
This is especially true on large flat loads and may
result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before driving your
vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the
vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in per-
sonal injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack
cautions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.
