Luggage Carrier
{CAUTION:
If you try to carry something on top of your
vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage
carrier like paneling, plywood, a mattress
and so forth the wind can catch it as you
drive along. This can cause you to lose
control. What you are carrying could be
violently torn off, and this could cause you
or other drivers to have a collision, and of
course damage your vehicle. You may be
able to carry something like this inside.
But, never carry something longer or wider
than the luggage carrier on top of your vehicle.
If you have the luggage carrier, you can load things
on top of your vehicle. Crossrails are not standard
on this vehicle and must be purchased at your
dealer/retailer.
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 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 as you are driving,
check to make sure the cargo is still securely fastened.
