camera mounted on the windshield. This camera
detects vehicle specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and tail -
lights of vehicles in the field of view will cause
headlights to remain on longer (closer to the
vehicle). Also, dirt, film and other obstructions on
the windshield or camera lens will cause the
system to function improperly.
To Activate

STOW ‘N PLACE ROOF RACK — IF EQUIPPED
The crossbars and side rails are designed to carry
weight on vehicles equipped with a luggage rack.
The load must not exceed 150 lb (68 kg), and
should be uniformly distributed over the luggage
rack crossbars.
The crossbars on your vehicle are delivered stowed
within the roof rack side rails. Crossbars should
always be used whenever cargo is placed on the
roof rack. Check the straps frequently to be sure
that the load remains securely attached.

Roof Rack

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE107
The Stow ‘N Place roof rack does not increase the
total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure
the total load of cargo inside the vehicle plus that
on the external rack does not exceed the maximum
vehicle load capacity.
DEPLOYING THE CROSSBARS

1. To deploy the crossbars, completely loosen the thumb screws at both ends of the
crossbar and lift the crossbar from its stowed
position in the side rail. Repeat with crossbar
on the opposite side.

Thumb Screw

NOTE:The thumb screws cannot be fully removed.
Removing Crossbars

2. Bend the crossbar supports at each end, taking care to keep hand clear of pivoting joint.
Slide the thumb screw down.
Bending Pivot

3. Position the crossbars across the roof making sure the letters on the crossbars align with the
matching letters on the side rail.

Positioning Crossbars

CAUTION!
Use care when removing and handling the
crossbars to prevent damage to the vehicle.

4. Once the crossbar is in place, tighten both thumb screws completely.

Installing Crossbars

5. Deploy and tighten the second crossbar to complete the deployment of the crossbars.
NOTE:The crossbars are not identical and have fixed
deployment positions. Rear crossbar can be
deployed in two different positions.
STOWING THE CROSSBARS

1. Starting with one crossbar, completely loosen the thumb screws at both ends. Lift the
crossbar away from the matching letter to
remove it from the deployed position. Repeat
with the other crossbar.

2. Starting with the one crossbar, bend up the pivot supports at each end.

3. Then, position the crossbar along the correct
side rail. Make sure the letters on the crossbar
align with the matching letters on the side rail.

Stowing Crossbars

4. The crossbar will nest fully within the side rail.

Crossbar To Side Rail

CAUTION!
Use care when removing and handling the
crossbars to prevent damage to the vehicle.

(Continued)
5. Once the driver’s side crossbar is in place,
tighten the thumb screws completely.

Tightening Crossbar

6. Repeat the procedure to stow the second crossbar on the opposite side.

Stowed Crossbars

NOTE:
To help control wind noise, stow the crossbars in
the side rails when they are not in use.
If any metallic object is placed over the satellite
radio antenna (if equipped), you may experience
interruption of satellite radio reception.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before driving
your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off
the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting
in personal injury or property damage. Follow
the roof rack cautions when carrying cargo on
your roof rack.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle,
DO NOT carry any loads on the roof rack
without the crossbars deployed. The load
should be secured and placed on top of the
crossbars, not directly on the roof. If it is
necessary to place the load on the roof, place
a blanket or other protective layer between
the load and the roof surface.
To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle,
do not exceed the maximum roof rack load
capacity of 150 lb (68 kg). Always distribute
heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure
the load appropriately.
Load should always be secured to cross bars
first, with tie down loops used as additional
securing points if needed. Tie loops are
intended as supplementary tie down points
only. Do not use ratcheting mechanisms with
the tie loops. Check the straps and thumb
wheels frequently to be sure that the load
remains securely attached.
Long loads that 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 lift to a load. This is especially true on
large flat loads and may result in damage to
the cargo or your vehicle.
CAUTION!
