Notice: 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. Do not stand on plastic lower body panel when loading cargo on the luggage carrier. Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle capacity and loading, see Loading Your Vehicle on page 315. 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, 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. Rear Compartment Storage Panel/Cover Your vehicle may have an adjustable panel/cargo cover feature. The panel/cargo cover can be adjusted into three positions. There may also be a flip panel towards the front of the cargo cover. You may have to move this panel upward in order to gain access to the cargo cover. 140
