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 may have a storage compartment
located in the rear cargo area of the vehicle in the
driver’s side trim panel.
To open the utility compartment, turn the knobs
and swing the compartment door open. The
compartment door can be removed.
Rear Seat Armrest
Your vehicle may be equipped with a rear seat
armrest. Pull the loop at the top of the armrest
down to access the cupholders.
