Luggage Carrier

If you have the luggage carrier, you can load things on
top of your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has slats and siderails attached to
the roof and crossrails which can be moved back
and forth to help secure cargo. Tie the load to the
siderails or siderail supports.
2-62
Notice: Loading cargo that weighs more than 200
lbs. (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".
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you're leaving,
check now and then to make sure the luggage and
cargo are still securely fastened.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded.
•
If small heavy objects are placed on the roof, place
the load in the area over the rear wheels (behind
the rear side door on Suburban/Yukon XL Models).
If you need to, cut a piece of 3/8 inch plywood to
fit inside the crossrails and siderails to spread
the load. If plywood is used, tie it to the siderail
supports.
