Caution: If any removable convenience item is not secured properly, it can move around in a collision or sudden stop. People in the vehicle could be injured. Be sure to secure any such item properly.

Your vehicle may have a sliding rear convenience tray. The sliding rear convenience tray can be pulled out onto the tailgate making it easier to load or unload items.

To use the tray, do the following:

  1. Push the release lever located in front of the handle of the tray to release the pin from the floor track assembly.
  2. Pull the tray toward you without lifting it up. You will hear a click when the tray is locked into the extended position.
  3. Push the release lever again to roll the tray back into the vehicle. You will hear a click when the tray is locked into position.

The sliding rear convenience tray also has storage areas in it. Pull up on the covers to open them. Be sure to close the covers once you are done loading or unloading them.

The sliding rear convenience tray has a maximum weight capacity of 400 lbs. (181.4 kg) on top.
