UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 165 • Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible. • Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight over or behind the rear axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to sway. • Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the seatback. This could impair visibility or become a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision. ROOF LUGGAGE RACK - IF EQUIPPED The roof luggage rack consists of side rails and adjustable crossbars. The roof luggage rack is designed to carry up to 150 lbs (68 kg) of cargo uniformly distributed over both crossbars. When loading cargo on the roof luggage rack, distribute the cargo weight evenly on the crossbars. The roof luggage rack does not increase the total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total load of cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the external rack does not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity. Refer to the "Tire and Loading Information" placard for more information about cargo and load capacity. The placard is located on either the driver's side "B" pillar or the driver door. 3 WARNING! To help protect against personal injury, passengers should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and use seat belts.
