-+ L Luggage Carrier (OPTION) The side of the convenience netclosest to the front of the vehicle is higher than the side closest to the liftgate. Once you've loaded items into the net, stretch the higher side of the net up and over the top of the load to hold it firmly in place. The convenience net hasa maximum capacity of 100 pounds (45 kg). It is not designed to hold larger, heavierloads. Store such loads on the floor of your vehicle, as far forward as you can. When not in use, we recommend that you take down the convenience net to extend its life and retain its elasticity, and to keep the rear exit clear. Store the net in the pouch behind either front seat. If you have the optional luggagecarrier, you can load things on topof your vehicle. The luggage carrier has slats and side rails attached tothe roof, sliding crossrails and places to use for tying things down. These let you load some things on topof your vehicle, so long as they are not wider or longer than the luggage carrier. If you try to carry something on top of your vehicle that is longer or widerthantheluggage carrier-like paneling, plywood, L mattress, and so forth-the wind can itch it as you drive along. This ca ;e you to lose control. Wha you are carrying could be violent1 torn off, and this could cause you or other drivers to have a collision. and of course damage your vehicle. You may be able tocarry something like this inside. For example, a 4 ' by 8 ' sheet will fit inside your vehicle. But, never carry something longer or wider than your luggage carrier on top of your vehicle. I I 97
