ROOF RACK SYSTEM

ROOF RACK
The roof rack can be used to conveniently
carry additional cargo, or bulky items,
such as bicycles, which are better carried
outside than inside. The roof rack has side
rails attached to the roof. Consult
CHEVROLET retailer for details and
regulations on driving with a loaded roof
rack.
Ensure that the load is evenly distributed
over the side or cross rails. The roof
surface must not be loaded.
A loaded luggage carrier alters the
vehicle's centre of gravity. Drive carefully
when in crosswinds and do not drive at
high speeds.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you
are driving, check frequently to make
sure your cargo are securely fastened.
Warning
The maximum load for the roof rack
rails is 220lbs (100kg). Do not exceed
the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your vehicle.
Warning
If you try to carry something on top
of your vehicle that is longer or wider
than the roof rack, 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.
Never carry something longer or
wider than the roof rack on top of
your vehicle.
A loaded roof rack changes the
vehicle's centre of gravity. Do not
drive at high speeds. Take precau-
tions when driving in crosswinds.
Failure to follow this caution can
result in vehicle damage and
personal injury.
