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

the

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.

Notice:

Loading cargo on the

roof rack that weighs more than
91 kg (200 lbs) or hangs over the
rear or sides of the vehicle may
damage the vehicle. Load cargo
so that it rests evenly between
the crossrails, making sure to
fasten cargo 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.

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.
