168 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE CAUTION! To avoid damaging the electrical conductors of the rear window defroster, do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abrasive window cleaners on the interior surface of the window. Labels can be peeled off after soaking with warm water. ROOF LUGGAGE RACK - IF EQUIPPED External racks do not increase the total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on the luggage rack, do not exceed the rated vehicle capacity. This vehicle is not equipped with roof rack cross rails as built, unless ordered as optional equipment. Cross rails must be installed prior to carrying loads on the roof rack. If not equipped, your authorized dealer can order and install Mopar௡ cross rails built specifically for this roof rack system or a number of after market rails that are tailored to your life-style or activities. The optional cross rails have five specific locations identified by a feature on both the side rail and the cross rail. Cross rails must be secured in one of the five detent locations on the side rail to prevent movement with a sudden stop. The cross rails must also be installed using the correct orientation (the longer rail toward the front) with the wind trip formation toward the front of the vehicle as shown below. For improved windnoise performance when cross rails are not in use, place them in detent positions #1 (first detent from the front of the vehicle) and #4 (second detent from the rear of the vehicle) as indicated with a unique feature on the side rails. The grab handles (A) on the back of the vehicle (if equipped) are not to be used as a towing feature.
