Luggage Carrier
{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.If your vehicle has a luggage carrier, it will allow
you to load things on top of your vehicle. The
luggage carrier has side rails attached to the roof,
places to use for tying things down and may
have sliding crossrails. These let you load some
other things on top of your vehicle, as long as they
are not wider or longer than the luggage carrier.
To slide the crossrails to where you want
them, pull up on the lever on each side of the
crossrail. This releases the crossrail and allows
you to slide it. When the crossrail is where
you want it, press down on the levers to lock it
into place.
Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage carrier
that weighs more than 220 lbs (100 kg) or
hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle may
damage your vehicle. Load cargo so that it
rests on the slats as far forward as possible
and against the side rails, making sure to
fasten it securely.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity
when loading your vehicle. For more information
on vehicle capacity and loading, seeLoading Your
Vehicle on page 349.

Certi cation/Tire label.

Do not load your vehicle any heavier than
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR),
or either the maximum front or rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). If you do,
parts on your vehicle can break, and it
can change the way your vehicle handles.
These could cause you to lose control
and crash. Also, overloading can shorten
the life of your vehicle.
