Sunglasses Storage Compartment Luggage Carrier If you have a luggage carrier, you can load things on top of your vehicle. The luggage carrier has side rails and crossrails attached to the roof to secure cargo. 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 side rails. Use the crossrails only to keep the load from sliding. The overhead console has a sunglasses storage compartment. If you need to carry long items, tie the load to the side rails. Also tie the load to the bumpers. Do not tie the load so tightly that the crossrails or side rails are damaged. * After moving the crossrails, be sure to tighten all the slider screws. For the purpose of wind noise reduction, locate the front and rear crossrails in line with the two center supports. 2-44
