5. Once the driver’s side crossbar is in place, 
tighten the thumb screws completely.
Tightening Crossbar
6. Repeat the procedure to stow the second  crossbar on the opposite side.
Stowed Crossbars
NOTE:
To help control wind noise, stow the crossbars in 
the side rails when they are not in use.
If any metallic object is placed over the satellite 
radio antenna (if equipped), you may experience 
interruption of satellite radio reception.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before driving 
your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off 
the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting 
in personal injury or property damage. Follow 
the roof rack cautions when carrying cargo on 
your roof rack.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, 
DO NOT carry any loads on the roof rack 
without the crossbars deployed. The load 
should be secured and placed on top of the 
crossbars, not directly on the roof. If it is 
necessary to place the load on the roof, place 
a blanket or other protective layer between 
the load and the roof surface.
To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, 
do not exceed the maximum roof rack load 
capacity of 150 lb (68 kg). Always distribute 
heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure 
the load appropriately.
Load should always be secured to cross bars 
first, with tie down loops used as additional 
securing points if needed. Tie loops are 
intended as supplementary tie down points 
only. Do not use ratcheting mechanisms with 
the tie loops. Check the straps and thumb 
wheels frequently to be sure that the load 
remains securely attached.
Long loads that extend over the windshield, 
such as wood panels or surfboards, or loads 
with large frontal area should be secured to 
both the front and rear of the vehicle.
Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners 
carefully when carrying large or heavy loads 
on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural 
causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden 
upward lift to a load. This is especially true on 
large flat loads and may result in damage to 
the cargo or your vehicle.
CAUTION!

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS
1. Tachometer
Indicates the engine speed in revolutions 
per minute (RPM x 1000).
2. Instrument Cluster Display
When the appropriate conditions exist, this 
display shows the instrument cluster 
display messages  Ú page 113.
The display shows one of the main menu 
items after the ignition is turned/placed on.
3. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
4. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine 
coolant temperature. Any reading within the 
normal range indicates that the engine 
cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
The gauge can indicate a higher tempera -
ture when driving in hot weather or up 
mountain grades. It should not be allowed 
to exceed the upper limits of the normal 
operating range. 5. Fuel GaugeThe gauge shows the level of fuel in the fuel 
tank when the ignition switch is in the ON/
RUN position.
 The fuel pump symbol points to 
the side of the vehicle where the 
fuel door is located.
NOTE:The hard telltales will illuminate for a bulb check 
when the ignition is first cycled.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY 
Your vehicle is equipped with an instrument cluster 
display, which offers useful information to the 
driver. With the ignition in the OFF position (and the 
key removed, for vehicles with mechanical key), 
opening/closing of a door will activate the display 
for viewing, and display the total miles or 
kilometers in the odometer. Your instrument 
cluster display is designed to display important 
information about your vehicle’s systems and 
features. Using a driver interactive display located 
on the instrument panel, your instrument cluster 
display can show you how systems are working and 
give you warnings when they are not. The steering 
wheel mounted controls allow you to scroll through 
and enter the main menus and submenus. You can 
access the specific information you want and 
make selections and adjustments.
WARNING!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could 
damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge 
reaches “H” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle 
the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off 
until the gauge drops back into the normal range 
and is no longer red. If the gauge remains on the 
“H”, turn the engine off immediately and call an 
authorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or 
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling 
coolant. You may want to call an authorized 
dealer for service if your vehicle overheats  
Ú page 342.
