Luggage Carrier If you have a luggage carrier, you can load things on top of your vehicle. The luggage carrier has slats and side rails attached to the roof, and cross rails which can be moved fore and aft in the side rails to help secure cargo. Tie the load to the side rails or side rail supports. Use the cross rails mostly for fore and aft stops. NOTICE: Loading cargo that weighs more than 200 pounds (90.6 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. Load yourcargo so that it rests on the slats and does not scratchor damage the vehicle. Put the cargo against the side rails and fasten it securely to the luggage carrier. Don't exceed the maximum vehicle capacitywhen 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. 0 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 cross rails and side rails to spread the load. If plywood is used, tie it to the side rail supports.
