Cargo Tie Downs
Luggage Carrier (Option)
There
are
four cargo tie
downs in the rear that
allow
you to strap cargo in and
keep it from moving inside
the vehicle.
I
A
CAUTION:
vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage
carrier
--
like paneling, plywood, a mattress, and
so forth
--
the wind can catch it as you drive
along. This can cause you to lose control. What
you are carrying could be violently torn off, and
this could cause you or other drivers to have a
collision, and of course damage your vehicle. You
may be able to carry something like this inside.
But, never carry something longer or wider than
the luggage carrier on top of your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has slats, side rails and crossrails
attached to the roof to secure cargo. The adjustable tie
downs, at either end of the crossrails, should be used to
secure loads to the luggage carrier.
Use GM accessory racks that are compatible with your
luggage carrier for transporting sports equipment. These
are available through your GM dealer.
