For vehicles with a roof rack, the
rack can be used to load items. For
roof racks that do not have cross
rails included, GM Certified cross
rails can be purchased as an
accessory. See your dealer for
additional information.
Notice: Loading cargo on the
roof rack that weighs more than
100 kg (220 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 cross rails and cargo are
securely fastened. Loading cargo
on the roof rack will make the
vehicles 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. For more
information on vehicle capacity and
loading, see Vehicle Load Limits
