Be sure the cargo is properly loaded.
• If small heavy objects are placed on the roof,
cut a piece of 3/8 inch plywood to fit inside the
crossrails and siderails to spread the load.
Tie the plywood to the siderail supports.
• Tie the load to the crossrails or the siderail supports.
Use the crossrails only to keep the load from
sliding. To move a crossrail, lift the release lever,
on both sides of the rail, up to loosen it. Slide
the crossrail to the desired position balancing the
force side to side. Press the release lever on
both sides of the rail, down to tighten it. Try to
slide the crossrail back and forth slightly to be
sure it is tight.
• If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as they will go. Tie the load to the
crossrails and the siderails or siderail supports.
Also tie the load to the bumpers. Do not tie the
load so tightly that the crossrails or siderails
are damaged.
• After moving a crossrail, be sure it is securely
locked into the siderail.
Your vehicle has a Center High-Mounted
Stoplamp (CHMSL) located above the rear glass.
If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle,
care should be taken not to block or damage
the CHMSL unit.

two cupholders. To access the cupholders, pull the
armrest down from the rear seatback.

It is located in the bed of the truck. The system contains
three rails located on the front and sides of the bed.

The tie-downs can be placed on the upper and lower
slides of the rail.
