2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
The crossbars and siderails are designed to carry loads on vehicles equipped with a luggage rack. The load must not exceed 150 lb (68 kg), and should be uniformly distributed over the luggage rack crossbars.
NOTE:
See an authorized dealer to order and install Mopar® crossbars built specifically for this roof rack system.
Distribute cargo weight evenly on the roof rack crossbars. The roof rack does not increase the total load-carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure a total load of cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the external rack does not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity. Place one crossbar in the forward position. Place the rear crossbar in one of the two rear optional positions based on the load being secured.
To move the crossbars, loosen the attachments, located at the upper edge of each crossbar, approximately eight turns using the anti-theft wrench provided with the Mopar® crossbars. Then, move the crossbar to the desired position, keeping the crossbars parallel to the rack frame. Once the crossbar is in the desired position, retighten with the wrench to lock the crossbar into position.
NOTE:
If any cargo (or any metallic object) is placed over the satellite radio antenna (if equipped), you may experience an interruption of satellite radio reception. For improved satellite radio reception, place the rear crossbar in the forward of the two rear crossbar positions.
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 property damage. Follow the roof rack cautions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.
CAUTION!
- To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, do not carry any loads on the roof rack without the crossbars installed. The load should be secured and placed on top of the crossbars, not directly on the roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the roof, place a blanket or some other protection between the load and the roof surface.
- To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150 lb (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure the load appropriately.
- Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large frontal area should be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle.
- 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 lift to a load. This is especially true on large flat loads and may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
- The use of vehicle systems that would adjust the ride heights (such as Selec-Terrain modes Rock or Mud) is not recommended when using the Roof Luggage Rack to carry a load.
