Removing the Close-Out Panel
1. Close the panel. If the close-out panel is not closed
and resting on the trim panel, it cannot be removed.
2. Pull the panel toward you to unsnap it. Then slide the
close-out panel along the groove in the trim panel.
Reverse the steps to install the panel.
When carrying large or heavy items, it is a good idea to
open the panel and place the items in the rear area.
An improperly stored close-out panel could be
thrown about the vehicle during a collision or
sudden maneuver. You or others could be
injured. If you remove the cover, always store it
outside your vehicle. When you put it back,
always be sure that it is securely reattached.
