Cargo Area Floor Drains - Cadillac ESCALADE EXT 2005 Owner's Manual

After hauling dirt, wood chips, pebbles etc. you will
need to flush the midgate drain with water. But first
you will have to remove the drain grate by using
the following steps:
1. Lower the midgate. See Midgate on page 2-13 for
more information.
2. Pull up on the rear side of the drain grate.
3. Tilt the drain grate away from you and pull it
straight out.
Reverse the procedure to reinstall the drain grate.

Cargo Area Floor Drains

Your vehicle also has four cargo-area floor drains
located under the cargo mat near the sides of the cargo
area. These drains should be cleaned periodically to
allow water to exit the cargo area.
The cargo mat has cutouts for the drains. You can flush
the drains through the cutouts, but if the cargo area
is extremely dirty you can lift up the edges of the cargo
floor mat or take the whole mat out and flush the
drains with water.
