mechanisms fully engage to the side rail. Make
sure each lever is in the down position. The
crossrail will not slide when properly engaged.
To move the crossrail, pull up on the end levers on
each side of the crossrail to the upright position.
This will release the locking mechanism from

Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage
carrier that weighs more than 150 lbs (68 kg)
or hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle
may damage your vehicle. When loading
cargo, tie it to the crossrail and against the
siderail. Lock the crossrails to the far forward
and backward location to make sure the
load is evenly distributed on the luggage
carrier.Do not stand on the plastic lower body panel
when loading cargo on the luggage carrier.
Loading cargo on the luggage carrier will make
the center of vehicle gravity higher. Avoid
high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking or abrupt maneuvers. This could result
in loss of control of the vehicle.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity
when loading your vehicle. For more information
on vehicle capacity and loading, seeLoading Your
Vehicle on page 321
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are
driving, check now and then to make sure
the luggage carrier crossrails are locked and
cargo is still securely fastened.
When the luggage carrier is not in use, store the
crossrail inside the vehicle. If not possible,
lock one crossrail at the rear most position on the
siderails and lock the other crossrail above the
opening of the rear door to reduce wind noise.

and pounds. The vehicle capacity weight includes
the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all
nonfactory-installed options.The Tire and Loading Information label also lists the

The tethered fuel cap is located behind a hinged
fuel door on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly
counterclockwise. The fuel cap has a spring in it; if
the cap is released too soon, it will spring back
to the right.
{CAUTION:
If you spill fuel and then something
ignites it, you could be badly burned. Fuel
can spray out on you if you open the fuel
cap too quickly. This spray can happen if
your tank is nearly full, and is more likely
in hot weather. Open the fuel cap slowly
and wait for any hiss noise to stop. Then
unscrew the cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Do not top off or overll
the tank and wait a few seconds after you have
nished pumping before removing the nozzle.
Clean fuel from painted surfaces as soon as
possible. SeeWashing Your Vehicle on page 425.
When replacing the fuel cap, turn it clockwise until it
clicks. Make sure the cap is fully installed. The
diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has
been left off or improperly installed. This would
allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp on page 184.
