Luggage Carrier
{CAUTION:
If you try to carry something on top of
your vehicle that is longer or wider than
the luggage carrier — like paneling,
plywood, a mattress and so forth — the
wind can catch it as you drive along. This
can cause you to lose control. What you
are carrying could be violently torn off,
and this could cause you or other drivers
to have a collision, and of course damage
your vehicle. You may be able to carry
something like this inside. But, never
carry something longer or wider than the
luggage carrier on top of your vehicle.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a luggage
carrier that allows you to load things on top of your
vehicle. The luggage carrier, if equipped, has
side rails attached to the roof, and places to usefor tying things down. These let you load some
other things on top of your vehicle, as long as they
are not wider or longer than the luggage carrier.
Crossrails can be purchased from your dealer.
Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage carrier
that weighs more than 200 lbs (91 kg) or
hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle
may damage your vehicle. Load cargo so that
it rests on the slats as far forward as
possible and against the side rails, making
sure to fasten it securely.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity
when loading your vehicle. For more information
on vehicle capacity and loading, seeLoading Your
Vehicle on page 296.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are
driving, check now and then to make sure
the luggage carrier is locked and cargo is still
securely fastened.
When the luggage carrier is not in use, place the
crossrails at the following positions for reduced
wind noise. Place one crossrail at the rear
most point of the vehicle and the other crossrail
above the opening of the rear door.

button is not pressed in. When all the doors
are closed, the lamps stay on for a short period of

Reading Lamps
Press the indented part of the lenses on the
reading lamps located in the overhead console to
turn them on or off.
Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM)
that estimates the battery’s temperature and state
of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best
performance and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly put the charge
back in. When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging.
If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage or voltage
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), you
may see the voltage move up or down. This is
normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be
displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the
electrical loads are very high. This is true for all
vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator)
may not be spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all the power that is needed for very high
electrical loads.

vehicle has been off for more than three hours.Outside Air Temperature Display
A new outside temperature reading will be
displayed if the vehicle has been off for more than
three hours. If the vehicle has been off for less
than three hours, the old temperature reading may
be displayed because underhood heat is

heat can also affect the outside temperature
while the engine is running. It may also take
several minutes of driving before the display
updates to the actual outside temperature.
Automatic Operation

is active, the system will control the inside
temperature, the air delivery mode, and the
