All-Weather Cargo Area - Chevrolet 2006 Avalanche Owner's Manual

Cargo Tie Downs
Cargo tie downs are located in the rear cargo area that
can be used to secure cargo.
The tie downs can also be used to secure the cargo
cover panel strap system or the tonneau cover storage
bag, if equipped. For more information see "Cargo
Cover Panels" earlier in this section and Tonneau Cover
on page 2-83.

All-Weather Cargo Area

Your vehicle can be driven with the cargo panels on or
off, the midgate up or down, or with the rear glass in
or out. The vehicle has features to help resist the
elements and protect cargo inside the cargo area. Parts
of the water management system, which is designed
to quickly direct water out of the cargo box, include the
top drain grates, side rail channels, catch cups,
midgate drain, cargo area floor drains and the rubber
cargo mat.
Even when the water management system is working
properly and the vehicle's cargo cover system is
on, water could still accumulate in areas of the vehicle
during heavy rains and after going through an
automated car wash.
