Convenience Net (Option) Luggage Carrier (Option) If you have a luggage carrier, you can load things on top of your vehicle. The luggage carrier has slats, siderails and crossrails attached to the roof to secure cargo. The moveable tie downs, attached to the side rails, should be used to secure loads tothe luggage carrier. Be sure the cargo is properly loaded. Follow these guidelines: 0 Carrying small,heavy loads on the roof is not recommended. Tie the load to the moveable tie down, (two per each side of the side rails).Use the crossrails only to keep the load from sliding. 0 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 stopsand starts. The net is not designed for larger, heavier items. You can unhook the net so that it will lie flat when you're not using it. 0 If you need to carry long items, tie the load to the moveable tie downs provided in the side rails. Also tie the load to the bumpers. Do not tie the load so tightly that the crossrails or side rails are damaged.
