Owner’s Manual

Use GM accessory racks that are compatible with
your luggage carrier for transporting sports equipment.
These are available through your GM dealer.
You can adjust the crossrails to handle loads of various
sizes. Just loosen the slider knobs at each end of the
crossrail and move them to where you want them.
Make sure both sides of the crossrails are even, then
tighten the slider knobs.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded. Follow
these guidelines:
Carrying small, heavy loads on the roof is
not recommended.
Tie the load to the tie down (at either end of the
crossrails). When loading cargo directly on the
roof panel, use the crossrails to keep the load
from shifting.
If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as possible. Tie the load to the tie downs
provided. Also tie the load to the bumpers. Do not
tie the load so tightly that the crossrails or side rails
are damaged.
NOTICE:
Loading cargo that weighs more than 200 lbs.
(91 kg) on the luggage carrier may damage your
vehicle. When you carry large things, never let
them hang over the rear or the sides of your
vehicle. When loading cargo on the roof panel,
be sure it rests on the slats and does not scratch
or damage the vehicle.
Put the cargo against the side rails and fasten
it securely to the luggage carrier. Put the main
weight as far forward as you can and move the
rear crossrail forward as far as possible to keep
the load from shifting.
Don’t exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when 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.
