With Rear Window Stored

handle clockwise to release it.
Gently lower Midgate forward
until lying flat on folded rear seat.
Raise the Midgate

CARGO COVER SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a
three-piece cargo cover system. Any
number of the three panels can be
installed to provide the exact
configuration of space and security to
meet your cargo-loading
requirements. See your Owner
Manual for more information.
Remove cargo cover panels
Unlatch panels and slide them out of
the cargo box rails. Panel #1 has
four latches; panels #2 and #3 have
two each. The reinstallation
procedure is a reversal of the
removal procedure.
Store cargo cover panels
The cargo cover panels can be stored
on either side of cargo bed using the
storage bag provided. To avoid
damage, store panels as shown
below. The bag’s anchor hooks must
be attached to tie-down locations in
cargo bed.
