To lock the liftgate and the liftgate window, use the power door locks.
The liftgate door and window should be closed before driving. If not,
possible damage may occur to your vehicle.
WARNING:
Always close liftgate window before opening liftgate.
Liftgate glass and liftgate should never be open at the same
time. Failure to observe this warning may result in personal injury or
damage to your vehicle.
WARNING:
Make sure the liftgate door and/or window are
closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the
vehicle. This will also reduce the risk of passengers and cargo falling
out.
LUGGAGE RACK
Your vehicle is equipped with a roof rack for transporting items on the
exterior of the vehicle.
The maximum recommended load is
100 lb (45 kg), evenly distributed.
Use the tie down loops on the
thumbwheels (if equipped) to
secure the load.
To adjust cross-bar position (if
equipped):
1. Loosen the thumbwheel at both
ends of the cross-bar (If the
thumbwheel is too tight to release
by hand, a small screwdriver or
similar device can be used to release
the torque by inserting the shaft
into the tie-down loop and twisting
the thumbwheel counterclockwise).
Both cross-bars are adjustable.
