Roof Luggage Rack - If Equipped - Dodge journey 2017 Owner's Manual

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
The roof rack cross rails and side rails are designed to carry
cargo weight. The load must not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg), and
it should be distributed uniformly over the cross rails. In
addition, the roof rack does not increase the total load
carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the total load of
cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the roof rack does not
exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.
NOTE: The roof rack side rails on your vehicle are NOT
designed to carry a load without the addition of crossbars.
Metal crossbars are offered by Mopar accessories to pro-
vide a functional roof rack system. See your authorized
dealer.
To Move The Crossbars
1. Loosen the knobs on top of each crossbar approximately
six turns to disengage the clamp tooth from the side rail.

2. Relocate the crossbars, aligning the crossbar stanchions
(end pieces) with one of the vertical marks on the
outboard surface of the side rail for proper positioning.
There are four frontward marks for the front crossbar
and four rearward marks for the rear crossbar. Make
sure the crossbars remain equally spaced or parallel at
any position for proper function.
3. Tighten the knobs on each crossbar to lock it in position.
As you tighten the knob, make sure the clamp tooth
engages completely into the side rail slot.
