Caution: If something is carried on top of the vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage carrier -- like paneling, plywood, or a mattress-- the wind can catch it while the vehicle is being driven. This can cause a driver to lose control. The item being carried could be violently torn off, and this could cause a collision, and damage the vehicle. Items may be carried inside. Never carry something longer or wider than the luggage carrier on top of the vehicle.

The vehicle may be equipped with a luggage carrier that allows things to be loaded on top of the vehicle. The luggage carrier, if equipped, has side rails attached to the roof, and places to use for tying things down. These allow for thing to be loaded on the vehicle, as long as they are not wider or longer than the luggage carrier.

Crossrails can be purchased from your dealer/retailer.

Notice: Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that weighs more than 200 lbs (91 kg) or hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle can damage the 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.

Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when loading the vehicle. For more information on vehicle capacity and loading, see Loading the Vehicle.

To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check now and then to make sure the luggage carrier is locked and cargo is still securely fastened.

When the luggage carrier is not in use, place the crossrails at the following positions for reduced wind noise. Place one crossrail at the rear most point of the vehicle and the other crossrail above the opening of the rear door.
