tailgate BUICK RANDEZVOUS 2005 Owner's Manual

Front Armrest Storage Area
Your vehicle has a front armrest storage compartment
which contains two storage compartments.
To unlock the front armrest storage compartment, put
your key into the lock and turn the key counterclockwise.
To open the armrest, squeeze the lever while lifting
the top to open it.
To close the armrest, push the lid down until you hear a
click. To lock the armrest, put your key into the lock
and turn the key clockwise.
Rear Storage Area
There are four small storage compartments in the rear
of your vehicle. One is on the passenger’s side, two
are on the driver’s side and one is on the oor by the
tailgate. To remove the covers, lift up on the tabs. If your
vehicle has the 10-speaker system, the compartment
on the passenger’s side and the long compartment
on the driver’s side will be equipped with speakers.
Roof Rack System
{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.

To adjust the crossrails, lift the release levers on each
side to unlock them. Slide the crossrails forward or
backward, as needed, to accommodate loads of
various sizes.
After repositioning the crossrails, push the release lever
down. This will lock the crossrails in place.
Notice:Opening the sunroof when the luggage
rack crossrails are not in the full-rear position could
cause damage to the sunroof or luggage rack.
Verify the luggage rack crossrails are in the full-rear
position before opening the sunroof.
When you are done using the crossrails you must
replace the sunroof stop.
To replace the sunroof stop, do the following:
1. Put the crossrails in the full rear position.
2. Using the tool, put the screws back into each side
rail assembly. Make sure the screws are in the rst
hole in front of the crossrail.Convenience Net
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. The
convenience net is designed to help keep small loads,
like grocery bags, from falling over. Install the
convenience net at the rear of your vehicle, just inside
the liftgate/tailgate opening.
Attach both the upper and lower hooks to the loops on
either side of the liftgate opening. The label on the
net should be in the upper left corner.
The convenience net has a maximum capacity of
100 lbs (45 kg). It is not designed to hold larger, heavier
loads. Store such loads on the oor of your vehicle,
as far forward as you can.
When not in use, it is recommended that you take down
the rear convenience net to extend its life and retain
its elasticity, and to keep the rear exit clear. Store
the net in one of the storage compartments.
Cargo Cover
If your vehicle has a cargo cover, you can use it to
cover items in the rear of the vehicle. Remove the cover
from its pouch and place the loops found on each
corner of the cover, over the four pegs in each corner of
the rear if the vehicle. When it is not in use, fold up
the cover and return it to the pouch.
