HUMMER H3 2010 Owners Manual

Storage 4-3
To adjust a tie-down, pull the locator
pin out and move the tie-down to
another location making sure the
locator pin lines up with a locator
hole on the rail. The tie-down pin
may not be installed correctly if the
pin does not line up, turn it over and
reinstall. The tie-down will not move
when the pin is completely installed.
The maximum load for each rail is
227 kg (500 lbs).
The rails are notched at each end
which allows the tie-downs to be
removed and placed on another rail.
To remove, pull the locator pin out
and slide the tie-down to the end of
the rail and pull back.To remove or install cargo tie-downs
at the front of the bed, slide the
corner cap towards the center of
the bed to expose the rail notches.
To remove the corner cap, pull
either edge away from the rail.
To remove the system, loosen
the toggle bolts on each rail until
they can be removed from the bed
of the truck. To replace the system,
place the toggle bolts and rails
into their original locations and
tighten them to a torque setting
of 17Y
(12.5 ft‐lbs). Notice:
If cargo is tied down
using the horizontal slots on the
top of the pickup box, the box
could be damaged and would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Only use the tie-down
loops if the vehicle does not have
the cargo management system.
Convenience Net
Use the convenience net, located in
the rear, to store small loads as far
forward as possible. The net should
not be used to store heavy loads.

4-4 Storage
Roof Rack System
{WARNING
If something is carried on top of
the vehicle that is longer or wider
than the roof rack—like paneling,
plywood, or a mattress— the wind
can catch it while the vehicle is
being driven. The item being
carried could be violently torn off,
and this could cause a collision,
and damage the vehicle. Never
carry something longer or wider
than the roof rack on top of the
vehicle unless using a HUMMER
Certified accessory carrier. For vehicles with a roof rack, the
rack can be used to load items.
For roof racks that do not have
crossrails included, HUMMER
Certified crossrails can be
purchased as an accessory.
See your dealer for additional
information.
Notice:
Loading cargo on the
roof rack that weighs more than
113 kg (250 lbs) or hangs over the
rear or sides of the vehicle may
damage the vehicle. Load cargo
so that it rests evenly between
the crossrails, making sure to
fasten cargo securely. To prevent damage or loss of cargo
when driving, check to make sure
crossrails and cargo are securely
fastened. Loading cargo on the roof
rack will make the vehicle’
s center
of gravity higher. Avoid high speeds,
sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking or abrupt maneuvers,
otherwise it may result in loss of
control. If driving for a long distance,
on rough roads, or at high speeds,
occasionally stop the vehicle to
make sure the cargo remains in its
place. Do not exceed the maximum
vehicle capacity when loading the
vehicle. For more information on
vehicle capacity and loading, see
Vehicle Load Limits on page 9‑27.

Storage 4-5
Adjusting the Crossrails
To adjust the crossrails to fit a load:
1. Turn the crossrail keycounterclockwise to unlock
the crossrail end cap.
2. Remove the end cap.
3. Pull the lever labeled “PULL”
from left to right to loosen the
crossrail. 4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to the
opposite end of the crossrail.
5. Once both sides of the crossrail are loose, adjust the crossrail to
the desired position.
6. Push the lever labeled “PULL”
from right to left to lock the
crossrail in place.
7. Reinstall the end cap and turn the crossrail key to lock the
crossrail.
8. Repeat Steps 5 through 7 to the opposite end of the crossrail. Stop Tabs
If the vehicle has a sunroof, it has
a crossrail stop tab in the siderail.
This tab prevents the crossrail from
being moved past the opening of
the sunroof and cargo from being
loaded too far forward.
The vehicle may have cargo tie
downs. Once the cargo is loaded
onto the crossrails, use the cargo
tie downs to secure it . Do not load
cargo directly on the roof of the
vehicle. See
Vehicle Load Limits
on
page 9‑27for more information.

equipment, such as a cellular
phone.
There are two accessory power
outlets located under the climate
control system. There is also one
accessory power outlet located in
the rear cargo area (H3 model only).
Pull down the small cover to access
the accessory power outlet.
Notice:Leaving electrical
equipment on for extended
periods will drain the battery.
Always unplug electrical
equipment when not in use
and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating of 20 amperes. Certain electrical accessories
may not be compatible with the
accessory power outlet and could
result in blown vehicle or adapter
fuses. If you experience a problem,
see your dealer for additional
information on accessory power
outlets.
Notice:
Adding any electrical
equipment to the vehicle
can damage it or keep other
components from working as
they should. The repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not use equipment
exceeding maximum amperage
rating of 20 amperes. Check
with your dealer before adding
electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment,
be sure to follow the proper
installation instructions included
with the equipment. Notice:
Improper use of the
power outlet can cause damage

flammable items are put in the
ashtray, hot cigarettes or other
smoking materials could ignite

vehicle. Never put flammable
items in the ashtray.
Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.
Warning lights come on when there
could be a problem with a vehicle
function. Some warning lights come
on briefly when the engine is started
to indicate they are working. Gauges can indicate when there
could be a problem with a vehicle
function. Often gauges and warning
lights work together to indicate a
problem with the vehicle.
When one of the warning lights
comes on and stays on while
driving, or when one of the gauges
shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Follow this manual's advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly
and even dangerous.
