WARNING!
RETRACTABLE CARGO AREA COVER (for
versions/markets, where provided) — FIVE
PASSENGER MODELS
NOTE: The purpose of this cover is for privacy, not
to secure loads. It will not prevent cargo from shifting
or protect passengers from loose cargo.
The removable retractable cargo area cover mounts in
the cargo area behind the top of the rear seats.
The cover, when extended, covers the cargo area to
keep items out of sight. Notches in the trim panels near
the liftgate opening secure the extended cover in place.
The cover rolls away neatly inside its housing when not
in use. You can also remove the cover from the vehicle
to make more room in the cargo area.
To install the cover, position it in the vehicle so that the
flat side of the housing faces upward. Then, insert
either the left or the right spring-loaded post (located
on the ends of the cover housing) into the left attach-
ment point or the right attachment point (shown).
