Roof Rack System

WARNING
If something is carried on top of
the vehicle that is longer or wider
than the roof rack like paneling,
plywood, or a mattress
wind can catch it while the vehicle
is being driven. The item being
carried could be violently torn off,
and this could cause a collision
and damage the vehicle. Never
carry something longer or wider
than the roof rack on top of the
vehicle unless using a GM
certified accessory carrier.
For vehicles with a roof rack, the
rack can be used to load items.
For roof racks that do not have
crossrails included, GM Certified
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
crossrails can be purchased as an
accessory. See your dealer for
additional information.
For vehicles with crossrails, they
can be moved back and forth to
help secure cargo. To adjust them,
turn the knob located at each end
of the crossrail counterclockwise
the
until the crossrail can move freely.
To secure the crossrail, turn the
knob located at each end of the
crossrail clockwise until tightened.
Tie the load to the siderails or
siderail supports.
Loading cargo on the
roof rack that weighs more than
91 kg (200 lbs) or hangs over the
rear or sides of the vehicle may
damage the vehicle. Load cargo
so that it rests evenly between
the crossrails, making sure to
fasten cargo securely.
