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
your luggage carrier on top
of your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has slats, side rails and crossrails
attached
to the roof to secure cargo, The moveable tie
downs, attached to
the side rails, should be used to
secure loads to the luggage carrier. Use
GM accessory racks that
are compatible with your
luggage carrier for transporting
sports equipment. These
are available through your GM dealer.
Remove
the center rubber strips in the crossrails and
attach
the GM accessory rack to the nut plates provided
through the center slots (four per crossrail).
The tap plates can be moved to accommodate various
positioning by sliding them inside the crossrail to
the
desired locations before mounting the accessory rack.

loads. Just loosen the slider knobs at each end of the
crossrail and move them where you want them. Make
sure both sides of the crossrail are even, then tighten the
slider knobs.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded. Follow
these guidelines:
0 Carrying small, heavy loads on the roof is not
recommended.
0 Tie the load to the moveable tie down (two per each
side
of the side rails). Use the crossrails only to keep
the load from sliding.
If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as possible. Tie the load
to the moveable
tie downs provided in the side rails. Also tie the load
to the bumpers.
Do not tie the load so tightly that the
crossrails or side rails are damaged.
NOTICE:
Loading cargo that weighs more than 200 lbs.
(91 kg) on the luggage carrier may damage your
vehicle. When you carry large things, never let
them hang over the rear
or the sides of your
vehicle. Load your cargo
so that it rests on the
slats and does not scratch or damage the vehicle.
Put the cargo against the side rails and fasten it
, securely to the luggage carrier. Put the main
I weight as far forward as you can.
Don’t exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle capacity
and loading, see “Loading Your Vehicle’’ in the Index.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you’re driving,
check now and then to make sure the luggage carrier and
