ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
External racks do not increase the total load carrying
capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant
and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on the
luggage rack, do not exceed the rated vehicle capacity.This vehicle is not equipped with roof rack cross rails as
built, unless ordered as optional equipment. Cross rails
must be installed prior to carrying loads on the roof rack.
If not equipped, your authorized dealer can order and
install Moparcross rails built specifically for this roof
rack system or a number of aftermarket rails that are
tailored to your lifestyle or activities.
NOTE:The optional cross rails have seven specific
locations identified by a feature on both the side rail and
the cross rail. Cross rails must be secured in one of the
seven detent locations on the side rail to prevent move-
ment with a sudden stop. For improved wind noise
performance when cross rails are not in use, place them
in detent positions two (second detent from the front of
the vehicle) and seven (detent closest to the rear of the
vehicle) as indicated with a unique feature on the side
rails.
