Roof Rack System

For safety reasons and to avoid
damage to the roof, the vehicle
approved roof rack system is
recommended.
For vehicles with roof rack, the rack
can be used to load items. Cross
rail accessories can be purchased
at a Chevrolet dealer.
The maximum load for the roof rack
is 100 kg with the load evenly
distributed.
Caution
Avoid hanging loads over rear or
a side of the vehicle to avoid
damage to the vehicle. Load
cargo so that it rests evenly
between the side rails, making
sure to fasten the cargo securely.
{
Warning
To prevent damage or loss of
cargo when driving, make sure
the cross rails and cargo are
securely fastened. Loading cargo
on the roof rack will make the
vehicle's center of gravity higher.
Avoid high speeds, sudden starts,
sharp turns, sudden braking or
abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it
may result in loss of control.
Caution
Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a negative
effect on vehicle handling due to
the vehicle's higher center of
gravity.
If driving for a long period on rough
roads or at high speeds,
occasionally stop the vehicle to
make sure the cargo remains in its
place.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle
capacity when loading the vehicle.
