NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a sun-
roof, be sure not to position cargo
onto the roof in such a way that it
could interfere with sunroof opera-
tion.WARNING
The vehicle center of gravity will
be higher when items are
loaded onto the roof. Avoid sud-
den starts, braking, sharp turns,
abrupt maneuvers or high
speeds that may result in loss
of vehicle control or rollover
resulting in an accident.
Always drive slowly and turn corners carefully when carry-
ing items on the roof. Severe
wind updrafts, caused by pass-
ing vehicles or natural causes,
can cause sudden upward
pressure on items loaded on
the roof. This is especially true
when carrying large, flat items
such as wood panels or mat-
tresses. This could cause the
items to fall off the roof and
cause damage to your vehicle
or others around you.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check fre-
quently before or while driving
to make sure the items on the
roof are securely fastened.
CAUTION
When carrying cargo on the roof, take the necessary pre-cautions to make sure thecargo does not damage theroof of the vehicle.
When carrying large objects on the roof, make sure they donot exceed the overall rooflength or width.

Satellite Radio reception factors:
To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
satellite radio antenna located on the
roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof
provides the best location for an
unobstructed, open view of the sky, a
requirement of a satellite radio sys-
tem. Like AM/FM, there are several
factors that can affect satellite radio
reception performance:
Antenna obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-
up and keep luggage and other
material as far away from the anten-
na as possible. Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall build-
ings, bridges, tunnels, freeway over-
passes, parking garages, dense
tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.
