ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
The roof rack cross rails and side rails are
designed to carry cargo weight. The load must
not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg), and it should be
distributed uniformly over the cross rails. In
addition, the roof rack does not increase the
total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be
sure the total load of cargo inside the vehicle
plus that on the roof rack does not exceed the
maximum vehicle load capacity.
NOTE:
The roof rack side rails on your vehicle are NOT
designed to carry a load without the addition of
crossbars.
Metal crossbars are offered by Mopar accesso-
ries to provide a functional roof rack system.
See an authorized dealer.
To Move The Crossbars
1. Loosen the knobs on top of each crossbar
approximately six turns to disengage the
clamp tooth from the side rail.
Crossbar Knobs
2. Relocate the crossbars, aligning the
crossbar stanchions (end pieces) with one
of the vertical marks on the outboard
surface of the side rail for proper posi-
tioning. There are four frontward marks for
the front crossbar and four rearward marks
for the rear crossbar. Make sure the cross-
bars remain equally spaced or parallel at
any position for proper function.
3. Tighten the knobs on each crossbar to lock
it in position. As you tighten the knob, make
sure the clamp tooth engages completely
into the side rail slot.
4. Attempt to move the crossbar to ensure that
it is locked in position.
NOTE:
To help control wind noise when installing the
crossbars, make sure the arrows marked on
the underside of the crossbars face the front
of the vehicle.
To help reduce the amount of wind noise
when the crossbars are not in use, fasten the
front crossbar in the fourth position from the
front and the rear crossbar in the eighth posi-
tion. The tie down holes on the crossbar ends
should always be used to tie down the load.
Check the straps frequently to be sure that
the load remains securely attached.
