ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
The roof rack side rails on your vehicle are NOT designed
to carry a load without the addition of crossbars. Cross-
bars can be purchased from MOPAR威 accessories to
provide a functional roof rack system.
NOTE: Metal crossbars are offered by MOPAR威 acces-
sories. See your authorized dealer.
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 maximum vehicle load
capacity.
The roof rack cross rails and side rails together are
designed to carry cargo weight. The load must not exceed
150 lbs (68 kg), and it should be distributed uniformly
over the cross rails.
CAUTION!
•
To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do
not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of
150 lbs (68 kg). Always distribute loads as evenly
as possible and secure the load appropriately.
•
Long loads, which extend over the windshield,
such as wood panels or surfboards, or loads with
large frontal area 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.
