Don’t exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see
Loading Your Vehicle on
page 4-47.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you’re leaving,
check now and then 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. If plywood is
used, tie it 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, turn the release knobs,
on both sides of the rail, counterclockwise to
loosen it. Slide the crossrail to the desired position
balancing the force side to side. Turn the release
knobs, on both sides of the rail, clockwise to tighten
it and 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 is equipped with a rear armrest/storage
compartment for the rear seat passengers.
To lower the armrest, pull the loop at the top of the
armrest up and then out.
To open the storage compartment, push the button on
the front of the armrest and pull the top open.
