Luggage Carrier
If
you
have a luggage carrier, you can load things on top
of
your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has slats and side rails attached to the roof, and cross
rails
which can be moved fore and aft
in
the side rails to help secure cargo.
Tie the load to
the
side rails or side rail supports. Use the cross rails mostly
for fore and aft stops.
NOTICE:
Loading cargo that weighs more than
200
pounds
(90.6
kg) on
the luggage carrier may damage your vehicle. When you carry
large things, never let them hang over the rear or the sides of
your vehicle. Load your cargo
so
that it rests on the slats and
does not scratch or damage the vehicle. Put the cargo against the
side rails and fasten it securely to the luggage carrier.
Don’t exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when loading
your
vehicle. For
more information on vehicle capacity and loading, see “Loading Your
Vehicle”
in
the Index.
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.
Be sure
the
cargo
is
properly loaded.

If
small heavy objects are placed
on
the roof, place
the
load
in
the area
over the rear wheels (behind the rear side door on Suburbans).
If
you
need
to,
cut
a
piece of
3/8
inch plywood to
fit
inside the cross rails and
side rails to spread the load.
If
plywood
is
used,
tie
it
to
the
side rail
supports.
Tie
the load to
the
cross rails or the side rail supports. Use the cross
rails
only
to
keep the
load
from sliding.
If
you
need
to
carry long items, move the cross rails as far apart
as
they
will go. Tie
the
load to the cross rails and the side rails or side rail
supports. Also tie
the
load
to
the bumpers.
Do
not tie the load
so
tightly
that the cross rails or side rails are damaged.

After moving the cross
rails,
be sure to tighten all the slider screws.
