To reposition 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 the
siderail. Lift and place the crossrail into the new position.
Press the levers down until the locking mechanisms
fully engage to the side rail. Make sure each lever is
in the down position. The crossrail will not slide
when properly engaged.
Notice: Loading cargo on the luggage carrier
that weighs more than 220 lbs (100 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, see Loading Your Vehicle on
page 4-31
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.
