ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED

The roof rack cross rails and side rails 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. In addition, the roof rack does not increase the
total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the
total load of cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the roof
rack does not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.

NOTE:

Metal crossbars are offered by MOPAR® acces-

sories. See your authorized dealer.

To Move The Cross Rails

1. Loosen the knobs on top of each cross rail approxi-

mately six turns to disengage the clamp tooth from the
side rail.

2. Relocate the cross rails, aligning the cross rail stan-

chions (end pieces) with one of the vertical marks on
the outboard surface of the side rail for proper posi-
tioning. There are four frontward marks for the front
cross rail and four rearward marks for the rear cross
rail. Make sure the cross rails remain equally spaced or
parallel at any position for proper function.

3. Tighten the knobs on each cross rail to lock it in

position. As you tighten the knob, make sure the
clamp tooth engages completely into the side rail slot.

4. Attempt to move the cross rail to ensure that it is

locked in position.

NOTE:

• To help control wind noise when installing the cross

rails, make sure the arrows marked on the underside
of the cross rails face the front of the vehicle.
