Cargo Tie Downs There are cargo tie downs in the rear cargo area that allow you to strap cargo in and keep it from moving inside the vehicle. Luggage Carrier (If Equipped) If you have the luggage carrier, you can load things on top of your vehicle. The luggage carrier has slats and siderails attached to the roof and crossrails which can be moved back and forth to help secure cargo. Tie the load to the siderails or siderail supports. NOTICE: When not using the tie downs, flip them down out of the way. Loading cargo that weighs more than 200 lbs. (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 your cargo so that it rests on the slats and does not scratch or damage the vehicle. Put the cargo against the siderails and fasten it securely to the luggage carrier. Don't exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle capacity and loading, see "Loading Your Vehicle" in the Index. Convenience Net (If Equipped) You may have a convenience net in the rear of your vehicle to help keep small loads, like grocery bags, in place during sharp turns or quick stops and starts. The net is not designed for larger, heavier items. To install the net, attach the hooks to the raised cargo tie downs. Then, attach the cord loops to the button retainers in the side trim. You can unhook the net so that it will lie flat when you're not using it. 2-56
