Chevrolet 2004 TRACKER Automobile User Manual


 
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded. Follow these
guidelines:
Carrying small, heavy loads on the roof is not
recommended.
Do not load cargo directly on the roof panel.
Tie the load to the tie down loops at both ends of
the crossrails to keep loads from shifting.
If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as possible. Tie the load to the tie
downs provided. Do not tie the load so tightly that
the crossrails and side rails are damaged.
Notice:
Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that
weighs more than 100 lbs. (45 kg) or hangs over the
rear or sides of the vehicle may damage your
vehicle. Load cargo so that it rests on the slats as
far forward as possible and against the side
rails, making sure to fasten it securely.
Don’t exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see
Loading Your Vehicle on
page 4-51
.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you’re driving,
check now and then to make sure the luggage
carrier and cargo are still securely fastened.
