Roof Rack System
WARNING
If something is carried on top of
the vehicle that is longer or wider
than the roof rack
like paneling,
plywood, or a mattress
wind can catch it while the vehicle
is being driven. The item being
carried could be violently torn off,
and this could cause a collision
and damage the vehicle. Never
carry something longer or wider
than the roof rack on top of the
vehicle unless using a GM
certified accessory carrier.
For vehicles with a roof rack, the
rack can be used to load items.
For roof racks that do not have
crossrails included, GM Certified
crossrails can be purchased as an
accessory. See your dealer for
additional information.
Loading cargo on the
roof rack that weighs more than
100 kg (220 lbs) or hangs over the
rear or sides of the vehicle may
damage the vehicle. Load cargo
onto the roof rack so that it rests
evenly between the siderails,
making sure to fasten cargo
the
securely.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo
when driving, check to make sure
crossrails and cargo are securely
fastened. Loading cargo on the roof
rack will make the vehicle s center
of gravity higher.
Storage
Avoid high speeds, sudden starts,
sharp turns, sudden braking,
or abrupt maneuvers; otherwise it
may result in loss of control.
If driving for a long distance, on
rough roads, or at high speeds,
occasionally stop the vehicle to
make sure the cargo remains in its
place. Do not exceed the maximum
vehicle capacity when loading the
vehicle. For more information on
vehicle capacity and loading, see
Vehicle Load Limits on page 9 12.
