Roof Rack System

Warning
If something is carried on top of the
vehicle that is longer or wider than
the roof rack - like panelling,
plywood, or a mattress - the 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.
If equipped, the roof rack can be used
to load items. For roof racks that do
not have crossrails included, GM
certified crossrails can be purchased
as an accessory. See your retailer.
Caution
Loading cargo on the roof rack that
weighs more than 100 kg (220 lb)
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.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo
when driving, check to make sure
crossrails and cargo are securely
fastened. Loading cargo on the roof
rack will make the vehicle's centre of
gravity higher. Avoid high speeds,
