sunroof seal or in the track. This
could cause an issue with sunroof
operation or noise. It could also plug
the water drainage system.
Periodically open the sunroof and
remove any obstacles or loose
debris. Wipe the sunroof seal and
roof sealing area using a clean
cloth, mild soap, and water. Do not
remove grease from the sunroof.

{Warning
Do not store heavy or sharp
objects in storage compartments.
In a crash, these objects may
cause the cover to open and
could result in injury.
Glove Box
Lift the glove box handle up to open
it. Use the key to lock and unlock
the glove box.
The glove box is air conditioned and
can be used to store items at a
lower temperature. The vehicle air
conditioning must be turned on for
the maximum cool air to enter the
glove box. Move the slide control to
allow cool air into the glove box.
After opening the air flow, close the
glove box door to keep the cold air
from entering the vehicle.

Cargo Net Storage
The cargo net can be removed from
the vehicle and stored in the cargo
management system.
1. Disconnect the net from the roof openings and the tethers.
2. Press the red button on the center of the net to fold it
in half.
3. Roll up the cargo net and store it in the attached vinyl bag. 4. Open the cargo management
system cover.
5. If equipped with a tire sealant and compressor kit, store the
cargo net in the available
space next to the kit.
Convenience Net
This vehicle may have a
convenience net in the rear of the
vehicle. Attach it to the cargo
tie-downs for storing small loads.
Do not use the net to store heavy
loads.
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.
If equipped, the roof 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.

100 Storage
Caution
Loading cargo on the roof rack
that weighs more than 100 kg
(220 lb) 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 centerof 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
0168.
