Center Console Storage Area Your vehicle may have a console compartment with cupholders between the bucket seats. To open it, press the button and lift the console lid open. The rear of the console has a cupholder that swings down for the rear seat passenger to use. 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 390. To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are leaving, check now and then to make sure the luggage and cargo are still securely fastened. Be sure the cargo is properly loaded. • If small heavy objects are placed on the roof, place the load in the area over the rear wheels (behind the rear side door on extended models). If you need to, cut a piece of 3/8 inch plywood to fit inside the crossrails and siderails to spread the load. If plywood is used, tie it to the siderail supports. • Tie the load to the crossrails or the siderail supports. Use the crossrails only to keep the load from sliding. To move the crossrails, pull out on the latch release handle at each end. Slide the crossrail to the desired position balancing the force side to side. Push the release handle back into the latched position and slide the crossrail back and forth slightly to be sure the latch snaps securely into place. Luggage Carrier If you have the luggage carrier, you can load things on top of your vehicle. The luggage carrier has siderails attached to the roof and crossrails, if equipped, which can be moved back and forth to help secure cargo. Tie the load to the siderails or siderail supports. Notice: Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that weighs more than 200 lbs (91 kg) or hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle may damage your vehicle. Load cargo so that it rests as far forward as possible and against the side rails, making sure to fasten it securely. 175
