Jeep Wrangler: GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE / ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
NOTE:
Roof rack applications are for Hard Top models
ONLY.
The load carried on the roof, when equipped
with a luggage rack, must not exceed 100 lb
(45 kg), this includes the weight of the
crossbars, and it should be uniformly
distributed over the cargo area.
Crossbars should always be used whenever
cargo is placed on the roof rack. Check the
straps frequently to be sure that the load
remains securely attached.
NOTE:
Crossbars can be purchased at an authorized
dealer through Mopar® parts.
External racks do not increase the total load
carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the
total occupant and luggage load inside the
vehicle, plus the load on the luggage rack, do
not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.
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 avoid damage to the roof rack and
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof
rack load capacity. Always distribute heavy
loads as evenly as possible and secure the
load appropriately.
- Long loads, which extend over the windshield,
should be secured to both the front
and rear of the vehicle.
- Place a blanket or other protection
between the surface of the roof and the
load.
- 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. It is recommended
to not carry large flat loads, such as wood
panels or surfboards, which may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
- Load should always be secured to crossbars
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 ratcheting mechanisms
with the tie loops. Check the straps
frequently to be sure that the load remains
securely attached.
Trail Rail Cargo Organizer — If Equipped
If your vehicle is equipped with the Trail Rail
system, a rail will be found built into the floor on
either side of the cargo area...
Other information:
Children who are large enough to wear the
shoulder belt comfortably, and whose legs are
long enough to bend over the front of the seat
when their back is against the seatback, should
use the seat belt in a rear seat. Use this simple
5-step test to decide whether the child can use
the vehicle’s seat belt alone:
Can the child sit all the way back against
the back of the vehicle seat?
Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over
the front of the vehicle seat – while the child
is still sitting all the way back?
Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s
shoulder between the neck and arm?
Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible,
touching the child’s thighs and not the
stomach?
Can the child stay seated like this for the
whole trip?
If the answer to any of these questions was
“no”, then the child still needs to use a booster
seat in this vehicle...
Remove the grommets under the rear seat
(one left and one right).
Pull the carpet out to the rear and open the
carpet split around the seat belt
attachment.
