ROOF LUGGAGE RACK Ð IF EQUIPPED
The roof luggage rack consists of side rails and adjustable
crossbars. The roof luggage rack is designed to carry up
to 150 lbs (68 kg) of cargo uniformly distributed over
both crossbars.
When loading cargo on the roof luggage rack, distribute
the cargo weight evenly on the crossbars. The roof
luggage rack does not increase the total load carrying
capacity of the vehicle.Be sure that the total load of
cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the external rack
does not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.
Refer to the ªTire and Loading Informationº placard for
more information about cargo and load capacity. The
placard is located on either the driver's side ªBº pillar or
the driver door.
To adjust, remove, or install the crossbars, proceed as
follows:1. Flip the lever on the end of the crossbar upward.
2. Turn the lever counter clockwise to loosen the lower
clamp. When the lower clamp is loose, turn it until the
round side of the clamp completely faces away from the
side rail.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 on the opposite clamp on the
other side of the crossbar.
4. Pick up the crossbar and move it to the desired
location. Do not place the crossbar directly over the
sunroof glass (if equipped).
5. Turn the lower clamp until the round side of the clamp
completely faces the side rail.
6. Turn the lever clockwise to tighten the lower clamp to
the side rail. When tight, flip the lever downward.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 on the opposite clamp on the
other side of the crossbar.
8. Attempt to move the crossbar to ensure that it is
locked in position.
NOTE:To reduce the amount of wind noise when the
crossbars are not in use, remove both crossbars from the
side rails and place them inside the vehicle.CAUTION!
²To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do
not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of
150 lbs (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as
evenly as possible and secure the load appropri-
ately.
²Long loads, which 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.
²Travel 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 loads. This is
especially true on large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
²Do not use the pop-up feature of the sliding /
pop-up roof when positioning or placing luggage
above it, to prevent damage to the sliding / pop-up
roof panel.

WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before driving your
vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the
vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in per-
sonal injury or property damage. Follow the Roof
Rack Cautions when carrying cargo on your roof
rack.
LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM Ð IF EQUIPPED
The automatic load leveling system will provide a level-
riding vehicle under most passenger and cargo loading
conditions.A hydraulic pump contained within the shock absorbers
raises the rear of the vehicle to the correct height. It takes
approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) of driving for the leveling
to complete depending on road surface conditions.
If the leveled vehicle is not moved for approximately 15
hours, the leveling system will bleed itself down. The
vehicle must be driven to reset the system.

Satellite Antenna
To ensure optimum reception, do not place items on the
roof around the rooftop antenna location or strap items to
the trunk lid around the trunk lid antenna (if equipped).
Metal objects placed within the line of sight of the
antenna will cause decreased performance. Larger lug-
gage items such as bikes should be placed as far rearward
as possible, within the loading design of the rack. Do not
place items directly on or above the antenna.
Reception Quality
Satellite reception may be interrupted due to one of the
following reasons:
²The vehicle is parked in an underground parking
structure or under a physical obstacle.
²Dense tree coverage may interrupt reception in the
form of short audio mutes.
²Driving under wide bridges or along tall buildings can
cause intermittent reception.
²Placing objects over or too close to the antenna can
cause signal blockage.
