Buick 2007 Rendezvous - Manual (Page 162)

Notice: Loading cargo on the luggage carrier
that weighs more than 220 lbs (100 kg) or
hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle may
damage your vehicle. Load cargo so that it
rests on the slats as far forward as possible
and against the side rails, making sure to
fasten it securely.
When you carry cargo on the luggage carrier of a
proper size and weight, put it on the slats and
distribute the weight evenly. Then slide the
crossrail, if the vehicle has one, up against the rear
of the load to keep it from moving. You can then tie
it down. Cargo containers must be loaded on the
crossrails only.
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 332.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are
driving, check now and then to make sure
the luggage carrier and cargo are still securely
fastened.
Loading things onto the luggage carrier can
interfere with the performance of your XM™
Satellite Radio System, if the vehicle has one.
