area.

Always secure the load to help prevent it from moving in the event of sudden stops.

Cargo area floor rails and hooks
The floor of the cargo compartment has rails on opposite sides of the vehicle equipped with hooks for anchoring loads
with straps, nets, etc.

Dirt or other small objects that collect in the rails can make moving, locking, unlocking, and removing the hooks more
difficult. Objects can be removed from the rails with a vacuum cleaner, and the rails can be cleaned with a moist cloth.
