LUGGAGE RACK
Your vehicle is equipped with a roof
rack. The maximum load for the
roof rack is 100 lb (44 kg), evenly
distributed on the cross-bars. If it is
not possible to evenly distribute the
load, position it in the center or as
far forward on the cross-bars as
possible.
Do not use the vehicle's door
handles as tie down loops. Use
the tie-down loops on the
thumbwheels to secure load.
To adjust the cross-bar (if equipped) position:
1. Loosen the thumbwheel at both
ends of the cross-bar (both
cross-bars are adjustable).
2. Slide the cross-bar to the desired
location.
3. Tighten the thumbwheel at both
ends of the cross-bar.
To remove the cross-bar assembly (if equipped) from the roof rack
side rails:
1. Loosen the thumbwheel at both
ends of the cross-bar (both
cross-bars are adjustable).
