FEATURES AND CONTROLS Do not stand on the plastic lower body panel when loading cargo on the luggage carrier. Loading cargo on the luggage carrier will make the center of vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers. This could result in loss of control of the vehicle. Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle capacity and loading, refer to "Loading Your Vehicle" in "Your Driving, the Road, and Your Vehicle" in the "Driving Your Vehicle" section. To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are driving, check now and then to make sure the luggage carrier crossrails are locked and cargo is still securely fastened. When the luggage carrier is not in use, store the crossrails inside the vehicle. If not possible, lock one crossrail at the rear most position on the siderails and lock the other crossrail above the opening of the rear door to reduce wind noise. Convenience Net Your vehicle may have a rear compartment net to prevent items from rolling under the rear seat. There may also be four convenience net tie-downs. Two tie-downs are located on the side trim just behind the rear seat and the other two are located on the floor at the rear of the cargo area. 1767348 To reposition the crossrail, pull up on the end levers on each side of the crossrail to the upright position. This will release the locking mechanism from the siderail. Lift and place the crossrail into the new position. Press the levers down until the locking mechanisms fully engage to the side rail. Make sure each lever is in the down position. The crossrail will not slide when properly engaged. WARNING Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that weighs more than 220 lbs (100 kg) or hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle may damage your vehicle. Load cargo so that it rests on the slats as far forward as possible and against the side rails, making sure to fasten it securely. Rear Seat Armrest Your vehicle may have a rear seat armrest that contains two cupholders. To access the cupholders, pull the armrest down from the rear seatback. 2-23
