70 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
(Continued)
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Roof
Luggage Rack for transporting accessories.
Crossbars should always be used whenever
cargo is placed on the Roof Luggage Rack.
Check the straps frequently to be sure that the
load remains securely attached.
NOTE:
Crossbars can be purchased at an authorized
dealer through Mopar parts. 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 Roof Luggage Rack, do not exceed the
maximum vehicle load capacity.
The load carried on the roof, when equipped
with a luggage rack, must not exceed 110 lbs
(50 kg), and it should be uniformly distributed
over the cargo area.
Do not use the sunroof when using the cross-
bars.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before
driving your vehicle. Improperly secured
loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at
high speeds, resulting in personal injury or
property damage. Follow the roof rack
cautions when carrying cargo on your roof
rack.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the Roof Luggage Rack
and vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof
rack load capacity. Always distribute heavy
loads as evenly as possible and secure the
load appropriately.
Long loads, which extend over the wind-
shield, such as wood panels or surfboards,
should be secured to both the front and rear
of the vehicle.
Place a blanket or other protection between
the surface of the roof and the load.
Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners
carefully when carrying large or heavy loads
on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural
causes or nearby truck traffic, can add
sudden upward loads. This is especially true
on large flat loads and may result in damage
to the cargo or your vehicle.
CAUTION! (Continued)
