Press the lever down and align the crossrails on both sides with the holes on the siderails. Move the crossrail by hand. There will be a notable click as the pins align into the holes locking the crossrail into place. Make sure the lever is in the down position, and that the crossrail cannot be moved by hand when it is in place. To reposition the crossrail, pull up on the end levers of the crossrail to the upright position. This releases the pins from the holes in the siderail and allows for the crossrail to be moved into a new position. 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 panels when loading cargo on the luggage carrier. 2-44
