Driver Controls CARGO AREA FEATURES Cargo net (if equipped) The cargo pouch net secures lightweight objects in the cargo area. Attach the net to the anchors provided. Do not put more than 50 lb. (22 kg) in the net. WARNING: The cargo net is not designed to restrain objects during a collision or heavy braking. LUGGAGE RACK The load must be placed directly on the luggage rack. The vehicle's roof panel is not designed to carry a load. When loading the luggage rack, it is recommended to evenly distribute the load on the luggage rack and on dealer installed cross-bars (if equipped), as well as maintain a low center of gravity. Ensure that the load is securely fastened. The maximum load for the roof rack is 100 lb (45 kg). Your fuel economy will decrease when you drive with items on the luggage rack. When the rack is loaded, check the tightness of the load before driving and at each refueling stop. 130 2009 Flex (471) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
