Rear Seat Armrest - Cadillac 2009 Escalade EXT Owner's Manual

Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading the vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see Loading the Vehicle on
page 5-31.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded.
•
If small heavy objects are placed on the roof, cut a
piece of 3/8 inch plywood to fit inside the crossrails
and siderails to spread the load. Tie the plywood
to the siderail supports.
•
Tie the load and secure it to the crossrails or the
siderail supports. Use the crossrails only to keep
the load from sliding. To move a crossrail, turn
the release knobs, on both sides of the rail,
counterclockwise to loosen it. Slide the crossrail to
the desired position balancing the force side to
side. Turn the release knobs, on both sides of the
rail, clockwise to tighten it. Try to slide the crossrail
back and forth slightly to be sure it is tight.
•
To carry long items, move the crossrails as far
apart as possible. Tie the load to the crossrails and
the siderails or siderail supports. Also tie the
load to the bumpers, but do not tie the load so
tightly that the crossrails or siderails are damaged.
•
After moving a crossrail, make sure it is securely
locked into the siderail.
A Center High-Mounted Stoplamp (CHMSL) is located
above the rear glass. When loading items on the
roof, take care not to block or damage the CHMSL.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check
periodically to make sure the luggage and cargo is
still securely fastened.
