Roof Rack System {CAUTION: If you try to carry something on top of your vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage carrier - like paneling, plywood, a mattress and so forth - 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. You may be able to carry something like this inside. But, never carry something longer or wider than the luggage carrier on top of your vehicle. Rear Storage Area There are four small storage compartments in the rear of your vehicle. One is on the passenger's side, two are on the driver's side and one is on the floor by the tailgate. To remove the covers, lift up on the tabs. If your vehicle has the 10-speaker system, the compartment on the passenger's side and the long compartment on the driver's side will be equipped with speakers. 2-40
