Luggage Carrier
The vehicle may have a luggage carrier that can be
used to load things on top of the vehicle.
The luggage carrier has siderails attached to the roof. It
may also have crossrails which can be moved back
and forth to help secure cargo. Tie the load to the
siderails or siderail supports.
Notice: Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that
weighs more than 200 lbs (91 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.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see Loading Your Vehicle on
page 4-35.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo while you are
driving, check to make sure the luggage and cargo are
still securely fastened.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded.
• If small heavy objects are placed on the roof, cut a
piece of 3/8 inch plywood to fit inside the crossrails
and siderails to spread the load. Tie the plywood
to the siderail supports.
• Tie the load to the crossrails or the siderail supports.
Use the crossrails only to keep the load from sliding.
To move a crossrail, lift the release lever, on both
sides of the rail, up to loosen it. Slide the crossrail to
the desired position balancing the force side to side.
Press the release lever on both sides of the rail,
down to tighten it. Try to slide the crossrail back and
forth slightly to be sure it is tight.
• If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as they will go. Tie the load to the
crossrails and the siderails or siderail supports. Also
tie the load to the bumpers. Do not tie the load so
tightly that the crossrails or siderails are damaged.
• After moving a crossrail, be sure it is securely locked
into the siderail.
Your vehicle has a Center High-Mounted Stoplamp
(CHMSL) located above the rear glass.
If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle, care
should be taken not to block or damage the CHMSL unit.
Rear Storage Area
Your vehicle has a rear armrest/cupholder for the rear
seat passengers.
To open it, pull up and then out on the tab, located at
the top center of the armrest, and pull the armrest down.
