2-60 Luggage Carrier (If Equipped)
If you have the luggage carrier, you can load things on
top of your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has slats and siderails attached to
the roof and crossrails which can be moved back and
forth to help secure cargo. Tie the load to the siderails
or siderail supports.
NOTICE:
Loading cargo that weighs more than
200 lbs. (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 siderails
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 ªLoading Your Vehicleº
in the Index.To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you're leaving,
check now and then to make sure the luggage and cargo
are still securely fastened.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded.

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 Suburban/Yukon XL Models). If
you need to, cut a piece of 3/8 inch plywood to fit
inside the crossrails and siderails to spread the load.
If plywood is used, tie it to the siderail supports.

Tie the load to the crossrails or the siderail supports.
Use the crossrails only to keep the load from sliding.
To move the crossrails, pull out on the latch release
handle at each end. Slide the crossrail to the desired
position balancing the force side to side. Push the
release handle back into the latched position and
slide the crossrail back and forth slightly to be sure
the latch snaps securely into place.

If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as they will go. Tie the load to the
crossrails and the siderails or siderail supports. Also
tie the load to the bumpers. Do not tie the load so
tightly that the crossrails or siderails are damaged.

After moving a crossrail, be sure it is securely locked
into the siderail.

Your vehicle has a Center High-Mounted Stoplamp
(CHMSL) located above the glass or above the rear
load doors.
If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle,
care should be taken not to block or damage the
CHMSL unit.
Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
Front Ashtray
The front ashtray is located near the center of the
instrument panel. Pull on the bottom of the ashtray door
to open it.
NOTICE:
If you store paper or other things that burn in
your ashtrays, they could be set on fire by
cigarettes or other smoking materials. That could
cause a fire and possibly damage your vehicle. Do
not store papers and other things that burn in
your ashtrays.
To remove the front ashtray, press the retainer spring
and pull the ashtray toward you. To replace the ashtray,
place the ashtray on the slides at the side of its location
in the instrument panel. Then slide the ashtray back to
its original position.
To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way, and let
go. When it's ready, it will pop back out by itself.
NOTICE:
Holding a cigarette lighter in with your hand
while it's heating can make it overload, damaging
the lighter and the heating element. Just push the
lighter all the way in and let go. When it's done,
it will pop back out by itself.
Sun Visors
To block out glare, you can swing down the top and
bottom visors (if equipped). You can also swing the
bottom visor from side
-to-side. Your visors may have
an extension that can be pulled out for additional
glare protection.
