UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 157 CAUTION! Use care when washing the inside of the rear window to prevent damage to heating elements. Use a soft cloth and a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the heating elements. Also, keep all objects a safe distance from the window to prevent damaging the heating elements. ROOF LUGGAGE RACK - IF EQUIPPED The load carried on the roof when equipped with a luggage rack must not exceed 68 kg (150 lbs.), and should be uniformly distributed over the cargo area. The tie loops provided in the side rails can be used to help tie down cargo, however crossbars should always be used whenever cargo is placed on the roof rack. Tie loops should not be used on their own to attach luggage to the roof rack. Check the straps frequently to be sure that the load remains securely attached. NOTE: Crossbars are offered by Mopar accessories. External racks do not increase the total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on the luggage rack, do not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity. 3
