Caution: Improperly stored cargo cover panels could be thrown about the vehicle during a collision or sudden maneuver. Someone could be injured. If a panel is removed, always store it in the proper storage location. When putting it back, always make sure that it is securely reattached.

Notice: Exceeding the weight limit of 250 lbs (113 kg) can damage the cargo covers, and the repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not put anything on top of the cargo covers over the weight limit.

Your vehicle is equipped with a three-piece cargo cover system. The cargo panels can be removed and stored in the cargo area of the vehicle with the cargo panel storage bag.

To remove a cargo panel(s), do the following:

1. Lower the tailgate. Use the ignition/door key to unlock the tailgate if it is locked. See Tailgate for more information on the tailgate.



2. Before removing the cargo panel(s), notice the numbers embossed on the upper center portion of each panel. The panels are labeled 1, 2 and 3. There are also numbered labels on the bottom of the panels. The numbers on the top and bottom of the panels will be used as reference when removing, storing and reinstalling the panels.



3. Remove cargo panel 3 by pulling the left and right cargo panel latches, located on the bottom of each cargo panel, toward you to unlock the cargo panel latches.
4. Pull the cargo panel up and then out from the side rails and set it aside. You only need to remove as many cargo panels as needed for your cargo carrying needs.



5. Remove cargo panel 2 in the same way and set it aside.



6. Remove cargo panel 1, but notice that there are four latches to release (two left-side and two right-side latches). Set the panel aside.

After you have removed each cargo panel you can store it within the cargo storage area using the cargo panel storage system.

The three cargo panels can be stored on either the driver's or passenger's side of the cargo box using the storage bag. To store the panels, do the following:

Secure the storage bag in the cargo storage area by attaching the four clips on the cargo bag to the tie-down locations on either side of the storage area.

Always use the storage bag to store the cargo panels during driving.

Before storing the cargo panels, be sure that the latches are in the locked position. The latches are in the locked position when they are parallel to the front and back edge of the panel.

Use the following instructions for the proper storage sequence and location for each panel:

Panels 3, 2, 1 Loaded






1. Starting with cargo panel 1, load the cargo panel with latches at the top of the bag and facing away from you.



2. Store cargo panel 2 by loading the cargo panel with latches down and facing toward you.



3. Store cargo panel 3 by loading the cargo panel with latches at the top of the bag and facing toward you.
4. Zip the bag shut.



5. Tighten both straps on the bag by pulling on the free end of the straps.



6. Close both top and bottom lever locks at the center of the bag to secure tightly.

You only need to reinstall as many cargo panels as you wish.

1. Remove the cargo panel(s) from the storage bag.

You can either leave the bag attached to the side of the cargo area while it is not in use, or you can store it outside of the vehicle.




2. Starting with cargo panel 1, place the latches in the unlocked position. Place cargo panel 1 on the cargo area rails while holding the back of the cargo panel up.

3. Push the panel forward until it is snug against the midgate and then let the back of the panel down being sure that the pegs align with the receivers.



4. Push both left latches away from you to lock the latches (remember that there are two latches on each side for panel 1). You should hear a click when each latch locks correctly. Lock the remaining two right latches on panel 1.

For any cargo cover panel you must lock the left latch in place before you can lock the right latch. If you do not follow this exactly, the cargo cover panels may not lock in place correctly.

5. Install cargo cover 2 next. Place the latches in the unlocked position. Place the cargo cover panel on the cargo area rails while holding the back of the cargo panel up.

6. Push the panel forward until it is snug against the other panel and then let the back of the panel down being sure that the pegs align with the receivers.



7. Push the latches away from you, starting with the left latch, to lock the panel in place. You should hear a click when each latch locks correctly.
8. Install cargo cover 3 next. Place the latches in the unlocked position. Place the cargo cover panel on the cargo area rails while holding the back of the cargo panel up.

9. Push the panel forward until it is snug against the other panel and then let the back of the panel down being sure that the pegs align with the receivers.



10. Push the latches away from you, starting with the left latch, to lock the panel in place. You should hear a click when each latch locks correctly.

There are cargo tie downs in the rear cargo area that you can use to strap cargo in. The tie downs are also used to secure the cargo cover panel storage bag. For more information see "Cargo Cover Panels" earlier in this section.
