NOTE:
Crossbars can be purchased at an authorized
dealer through Mopar® parts.
External racks do not increase the total load
carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the
total occupant and luggage load inside the vehicle,
plus the load on the luggage rack, do not exceed
the maximum vehicle load capacity.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before driving
your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off
the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting
in personal injury or property damage. Follow
the roof rack cautions when carrying cargo on
your roof rack.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle,

do not exceed the maximum roof rack load
capacity. Always distribute heavy loads as
evenly as possible and secure the load appro-
priately.
Long loads, which extend over the windshield,

should be secured to both the front and rear of
the vehicle.
Place a blanket or other protection between

the surface of the roof and the load.
Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners

carefully when carrying large or heavy loads
on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural
causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden
upward lift. It is recommended to not carry
large flat loads, such as wood panels or surf-
boards, which may result in damage to the
cargo or your vehicle.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
CAUTION!
Load should always be secured to crossbars

first, with tie-down loops used as additional
securing points if needed. Tie loops are
intended as supplementary tie-down points
only. Do not use ratcheting mechanisms with
the tie loops. Check the straps frequently to be
sure that the load remains securely attached.
Use only Mopar® roof luggage rack if supplied

as an accessory.
