water management system is clean and not blocked
with debris. Follow the instructions given next in this
section for the proper procedures on cleaning each item
of the water management system.

1. Remove the cargo panels. See Cargo Cover Panels
on page 2-55 for more information.
2. Grasp the edges of the grate and pull it out from
the vehicle. Flush the drain with clean water.
