loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see "Loading Your Vehicle" in
the Index.
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.
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
Suburbans). If you need to, cut a
piece of 3/8 inch plywood to fit inside the crossrails
and side rails to spread the load. If plywood is used,
tie it to the side rail supports.
Tie the load to the crossrails or the side rail supports.
Use the crossrails only to keep the load from sliding.
If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as they will go. Tie the load to the
crossrails and the side rails or side rail supports. Also
tie the load to the bumpers. Do not tie the load so
tightly that the crossrails or side rails are damaged.

After moving the crossrails, be sure to tighten all the
slider screws.
Your vehicle has a Center High-Mounted Stoplamp
(CHMSL) located above the tailgate glass or above the
rear load doors.
If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle, as in a
luggage carrier, care should be taken not to block or
damage the CHMSL unit.
