Roof Rack System; Convenience Net - Chevrolet 2006 HHR Owner's Manual

Roof Rack System

Your vehicle may be equipped with a roof rack system.
CAUTION:
{
If you try to carry something on top of your
vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage
carrier — like paneling, plywood, a mattress
and so forth — the wind can catch it as you
drive along. This can cause you to lose
control. What you are carrying could be
violently torn off, and this could cause you or
other drivers to have a collision, and of course
damage your vehicle. You may be able to carry
something like this inside. But, never carry
something longer or wider than the luggage
carrier on top of your vehicle.
Notice: Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that
weighs more than 150 lbs (68 kg) or hangs over
the rear sides of the vehicle may damage your
vehicle. Load cargo so that it rests on the slats as
far forward as possible and against the side
rails making sure to fasten it securely.
2-46
Notice: Loading cargo directly on the roof of the
vehicle may cause damage to the vehicle and would
not be covered under warranty. Do not place cargo
on the roof the vehicle.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see Loading Your Vehicle on
page 4-32.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are driving,
check frequently to ensure your cargo is securely
fastened.
The roof rack system has siderails that are attached to
the roof. All cargo must be loaded on the luggage
carrier crossrails only.
Use GM accessory racks that are compatible with your
roof rack system, these are available at your GM dealer.

Convenience Net

Your vehicle may have a convenience net located on the
back wall of the cargo area. There are six metal rings in
the cargo area that the net can be attached to. Two are
on the floor behind the rear seat, two are on the floor near
the liftgate and the last two are near the liftgate glass.
The net can be positioned on the liftgate using two rings
securing the cargo in a envelope or using four rings,
keeping the cargo from falling over during sharp turns or
quick starts and stops. The net can also be positioned
using the four rings on the floor, with cargo underneath.
The net is not for larger, heavier loads.
