mance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be
pushed into you, causing serious injury.

•Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put
heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible.
•Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear
axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight
over or behind the rear axle can cause the rear of the
vehicle to sway.
•Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the
seatback. This could impair visibility or become a
dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision.
WARNING!
To help protect against personal injury, passengers
should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear
cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes
only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and
use seat belts.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
The roof luggage rack consists of side rails and adjustable
crossbars. The roof luggage rack is designed to carry up
to 150 lbs (68 kg) of cargo uniformly distributed over
both crossbars.
When loading cargo on the roof luggage rack, distribute
the cargo weight evenly on the crossbars. The roof
luggage rack does not increase the total load carrying
capacity of the vehicle.Be sure that the total load of
cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the external rack
does not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.
Refer to the “Tire and Loading Information” placard for
more information about cargo and load capacity. The
placard is located on either the driver’s side “B” pillar or
the driver door.

To adjust, remove, or install the crossbars, proceed as
follows:
1. Flip the lever on the end of the crossbar upward.
2. Turn the lever counterclockwise to loosen the lower
clamp. When the lower clamp is loose, turn it until the
round side of the clamp completely faces away from the
side rail.3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 on the opposite clamp on the
other side of the crossbar.
4. Pick up the crossbar and move it to the desired
location. Do not place the crossbar directly over the
sunroof glass (if equipped).
5. Turn the lower clamp until the round side of the clamp
completely faces the side rail.
6. Turn the lever clockwise to tighten the lower clamp to
the side rail. When tight, flip the lever downward.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 on the opposite clamp on the
other side of the crossbar.
8. Attempt to move the crossbar to ensure that it is
locked in position.
NOTE:To reduce the amount of wind noise when the
crossbars are not in use, remove both crossbars from the
side rails and place them inside the vehicle.
Roof Luggage Rack
166 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

CAUTION!
•To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not
exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150
lbs (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly
as possible and secure the load appropriately.
•Long loads, which 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 force on loads. This is
especially true on large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
•Do not use the pop-up feature of the sliding / pop-up
roof when positioning or placing luggage above it to
prevent damage to the sliding / pop-up roof panel.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before driving your
vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the
vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in per-
sonal injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack
cautions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.
