Roof Rack System
The vehicle may have a roof rack system.
{ WARNING:
If something is carried on top of the vehicle that is
longer or wider than the roof rack— like paneling,
plywood, or a mattress— the wind can catch it
while the vehicle is being driven. The item being
carried could be violently torn off, and this could
cause a collision, and damage the vehicle. Never
carry something longer or wider than the roof rack
on top of the vehicle unless using a GM Certified
accessory carrier.
For vehicles with a roof rack, the rack can be used to
load items. For roof racks that do not have crossrails
included, GM Certified crossrails can be purchased as
an accessory. See your dealer/retailer for additional
information.
Notice: Loading cargo on the roof rack that weighs
more than 75 kg (165 lbs) or hangs over the rear
or sides of the vehicle may damage the vehicle.
Load cargo so that it rests evenly between the
crossrails, making sure to fasten cargo securely.
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.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo when driving, check
to make sure crossrails and cargo are securely
fastened. Loading cargo on the roof rack will make the
vehicle’s center of gravity higher. Avoid high speeds,
sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt
maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control. If
driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at
high speeds, occasionally stop the vehicle to make sure
the cargo remains in its place.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading the vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see Loading the Vehicle on
page 5-24.
Convenience Net
The vehicle may have a convenience net. The metal
rings in the cargo area can be used to attach the
convenience net for several uses. The net can be used
to attach items secured to the floor, to the rear liftgate
or liftgate glass. The net is not for larger, heavier loads.
