Your vehicle has a
Center High Mount
Stoplamp
(CHMSL)
located above the
tailgate glass
or above
the rear load doors.
I I
If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle, as in a luggage carrier, care
should be taken not
to block or damage the CHMSL unit.
Cargo Security Shade (4-Door Utility Model)
If you have a cargo
security shade,
you
can use it to cover
items
in the cargo
area
of your vehicle.
To use the shade,
pull the shade handle toward the rear of the vehicle. Latch
the shade posts into the retaining sockets
on the cargo area trim panels.
To return the shade to the shade holder, pull up on the shade handle to
release the shade posts from the retaining sockets. Let the shade move
forward and latch the shade posts into the front-most retaining sockets.
To remove
the shade from the vehicle, first let the shade go all the way into
the holder. Then, push the shade holder toward the passenger side of the
vehicle. Lift the shade up at the driver's side, swing the shade rearward, and
take
it out of the vehicle.

Luggage Carrier
If you have a luggage carrier, you can load things on top of your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has slats and side rails attached to the roof, and cross
rails which can be moved fore and aft in the side rails to help secure cargo.
Tie the load to
the side rails or side rail supports. Use the cross rails mostly
for fore and aft stops.
NOTICE:
Loading cargo that weighs more than 200 pounds (90.6 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.
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 cargo are still securely fastened.
Be sure
the cargo is properly loaded.
0 If small heavy objects are placed on the roof, place the load in the area
over the rear wheels (behind the rear side door on Suburbans).
If you
need
to, cut a piece of 3/8 inch plywood to fit inside the cross rails and
side rails to spread the load.
If plywood is used, tie it to the side rail
supports.
Tie the load to the cross rails or the side rail supports. Use the cross
rails
only to keep the load from sliding.
If you need to carry long items, move the cross rails as far apart as they
will go. Tie
the load to the cross rails and the side rails or side rail
supports. Also tie
the load to the bumpers. Do not tie the load so tightly
that the cross rails or side rails are damaged.
0 After moving the cross rails, be sure to tighten all the slider screws.
Trailer Wiring Harness
A 7-wire harness is stored under your vehicle along the rear frame
crossmember. The harness connects
to the underhood electrical center and
no connector, and should be wired by a qualified electrical technician.
