Jeep 2012 Compass - Manual (Page 191)

CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of the rear
window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth
and a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to
the heating elements. Labels can be peeled off
after soaking with warm water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abra-
sive window cleaners on the interior surface of the
window.
• Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
The side rails and crossbars are designed to carry weight
on vehicles equipped with a luggage rack. The load must
not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg), and it should be uniformly
distributed over the luggage rack crossbars.
NOTE: Crossbars are offered by MOPAR ௡ accessories.
Crossbars should always be used whenever cargo is
placed on the roof rack. Load should always be secured
to cross bars first, with tie down loops used as additional
securing points if needed. Tie loops are intended as
supplementary tie down points only. Do not use ratchet-
ing mechanisms with the tie loops. Check the straps
frequently to be sure that the load remains securely
attached.
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 external rack does not
exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.
