Convenience Net - Chevrolet 2003 Blazer Owner's Manual

You can adjust the crossrails to handle loads of various
sizes. Just loosen the slider knobs at each end of
the crossrail and move them to where you want them.
Make sure both sides of the crossrails are even,
then tighten the slider knobs.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded. Follow these
guidelines:
0
Carrying small, heavy loads on the roof is not
recommended.
Secure the load using the tie downs at both ends of
the crossrails. When loading cargo directly on the
roof panel, use the crossrails to keep the load from
shifting.
0
If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as possible. Tie the load to the tie
downs provided. Also tie the load to the bumpers.
Do not tie the load so tightly that the crossrails
or side rails are damaged.
Notice: Loading cargo that weighs more than
200 Ibs. (91 kg) on the luggage carrier may damage
your vehicle. When you carry large things, never
let them hang over the rear or the sides of your
vehicle. Load your cargo so that
it
rests on the slats
and does not scratch or damage the vehicle. Put
the cargo against the side rails and fasten
it
securely to the luggage carrier. Put the main
weight as far forward as you can.
Don't exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading see Loading
Your
Vehicle on
page 4-49.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you're driving,
check now and then to make sure the luggage
carrier and cargo are still securely fastened.
Convenience Net
You may have a convenience net in the rear of your
vehicle to help keep small items, like gloves and
light clothing, in place during sharp turns or quick stops
and starts.
