Pontiac 2007 Torrent - Manual (Page 139)

Press the levers down until the locking
mechanisms fully engage to the side rail. Make
sure each lever is in the down position. The
crossrail will not slide when properly engaged.
To move the crossrail, pull up on the end levers on
each side of the crossrail to the upright position.
This will release the locking mechanism from
the siderail. Lift and place the crossrail into the
new position. Press the levers down until the
locking mechanisms fully engage to the side rail.
Make sure each lever is in the down position.
The crossrail will not slide when properly engaged.
Notice: Loading cargo on the luggage
carrier that weighs more than 150 lbs (68 kg)
or hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle
may damage your vehicle. When loading
cargo, tie it to the crossrail and against the
siderail. Lock the crossrails to the far forward
and backward location to make sure the
load is evenly distributed on the luggage
carrier.
Do not stand on the plastic lower body panel
when loading cargo on the luggage carrier.
Loading cargo on the luggage carrier will make
the center of vehicle gravity higher. Avoid
high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking or abrupt maneuvers. This could result
in loss of control of the vehicle.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity
when loading your vehicle. For more information
on vehicle capacity and loading, see Loading Your
Vehicle on page 321
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are
driving, check now and then to make sure
the luggage carrier crossrails are locked and
cargo is still securely fastened.
When the luggage carrier is not in use, store the
crossrail inside the vehicle. If not possible,
lock one crossrail at the rear most position on the
siderails and lock the other crossrail above the
opening of the rear door to reduce wind noise.
