Installing and removing the steel
cargo grid*
The steel cargo grid prevents loads or pets in
the cargo compartment from being thrown
forward into the passenger compartment
during hard braking.
For safety reasons, the steel grid must always
be installed and secured correctly.
WARNING
Under no circumstances may a person be
in the cargo compartment when the vehi-
cle is moving. Heavy braking or a collision
could lead to serious injury.
The steel grid consists of the grid itself and
two separate mounting brackets. Each of the
5 7-seat models only.
mounting brackets has a screw cover and two
plastic sleeves for the grid.
WARNING
The steel cargo grid may only be used in
the rear position described here. The ceil-
ing attachment points behind the front
seats are not intended to anchor the steel
grid.
WARNING
For safety reasons, the third-row seats
must be folded down when the steel cargo
grid is mounted in the vehicle.
CAUTION
The steel cargo grid and the cargo com-
partment cover cannot be mounted at the
same time.
Installation
1. Fold down the rear seats and lift in the
steel grid through one of the rear doors or
the tailgate. 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
5
larger hole in the ceiling attachment point
(1).
Grasp the grid near the hook and pull/push
it into the smaller hole (2).
> The hook is now secured in the attach-
ment point.
3. Repeat step 2 above to secure the other
hook in the attachment point on the oppo-
site side.
WARNING
Make sure the cargo grid's hooks are
securely attached in the ceiling attachment
points to help ensure the grid does not
come loose.
