ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF
EQUIPPED
NOTE:
Roof rack and crossbars cannot be used on
vehicles equipped with Skyslider姞.
The load carried on the roof, when equipped
with a luggage rack, must not exceed 150 lbs
(68 kg), and it should be uniformly distributed
over the cargo area.
Crossbars should always be used whenever
cargo is placed on the roof rack. Check the
straps frequently to be sure that the load re-
mains securely attached.
NOTE:
Crossbars are offered by MOPAR姞 accesso-
ries.
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.
CAUTION!
• To avoid damage to the roof 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 espe-
cially true on large flat loads and may result
in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
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 prop-
erty damage. Follow the roof rack cautions
when carrying cargo on your roof rack.
