Steel cargo grid*
Your vehicle can be equipped with a steel grid
that helps prevent objects in the cargo area from
moving forward into the passenger compart-
ment.
The steel grid is made up of the grid itself and
two separate mounting brackets.
Each of the brackets has a screw cover and there
are two plastic sleeves for the grid.
WARNING
•
No one should ever be allowed to remain
in the cargo compartment when the vehi-
cle is moving.
•
The steel grid may only be used in the
rear position described in this article. The
ceiling attachment points above the front
seats are not intended to anchor the
steel grid.
•
The third row of seats (7-seat models*
only): these seats must be folded down
when the steel grid is mounted in the
vehicle.
•
After being mounted, be sure that the
steel grid is securely anchored in place.
Mounting
1. Fold down the rear seats (second row of
seats in 7-seat models) and lift in the steel
grid through one of the rear doors or the tail-
gate. The curved (convex) side of the grid
should face toward the cargo compartment
and the hooks on each side of the grid
should face upward. The mounting brackets
and plastic sleeves are not needed in this
step.
2. Press one of the grid's hooks into the larger
part of the opening in the ceiling attachment
point (1) as shown in the illustration.
3. Grasp the grid near the hook and move it
toward the smaller opening (2).
> This secures the hook in the attachment
point.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the hook on the
opposite side of the grid.
5. Attach the mounting bracket's hook through
the cargo anchoring eyelet near the floor of
the cargo compartment and insert the threa-
ded section of the bracket through the grid's
lower attachment hole (1).
6. Slide the plastic sleeve onto the threaded
section of the of the mounting bracket with
the sleeve's flange turned upward and press
it down through the hole. Screw the screw
cover into place until its underside is approx.
0.2 in. (5 mm) from the grid (2).
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the opposite side.
8. Center the grid and tighten both mounting
brackets alternately until the grid is held
securely in place.
Removing
Perform the steps above in reverse order.
The hooks can be removed before the plastic
sleeves are removed from the holes in the grid.
