2006 DODGE MAGNUM SRT seats

Cargo Management System — If Equipped
The cargo area has an upper and lower load floor.
Additional innovative features in the cargo area are the
two molded-in bins in the quarter trim panels. Each bin
that hold a gallon of milk and a 2-liter bottle of pop.
A cargo management system that stores on the lower
load floor below the bi-level cargo floor is optional. It
includes the following equipment:
•Waterproof cargo floor liner.
•Folding cargo management container with net separa-
tors.
The bi-level cargo floor includes a removable, tri-fold
load-bearing upper level. Two folds in the panel allow it
to be partially or fully folded for storage flexibility.
Shallow items can be stored underneath the upper load
floor.The lower load floor is hinged to provide access to the
spare tire, battery and rear electrical power distribution
center.
The 60/40 split-folding rear seat provides cargo-carrying
versatility. The seatbacks fold down easily by pulling
nylon tabs between the seatbacks and the bolsters. When
the seats are folded down, they provide a continuous,
nearly flat extension of the removable tri-fold load floor.
Tri-Fold Upper Load Floor
The removable, tri-fold upper load floor has two sur-
faces, one side is carpeted for a plush appearance and the
other is vinyl for easy cleaning. Folding and/or removing
the load floor adds four inches to the height of the cargo
area for increased utility. It is constructed of a lightweight
material that is sandwiched between the carpeted and
washable-vinyl sides, the panel consists of a strong inner
structure to give it load-bearing strength.

rollaway tonneau cover that is mounted in the rear cargo
area behind the seats. Notches in the trim panels close to
the liftgate secure the extended cover in place to keep
items out of sight. The tonneau cover can also be re-
moved when large items are stowed with the rear seat
folded downTo install the tonneau cover first insert either of the
spring-loaded outer posts followed by the opposite end

WARNING!
•Cargo tie-down hooks are not safe anchors for a
child seat tether strap. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion a hook could pull loose and allow the child
seat to come loose. A child could be badly injured.
Use only the anchors provided for child seat
tethers.
•The weight and position of cargo and passengers
can change the vehicle center of gravity and
vehicle handling. To avoid loss of control result-
ing in personal injury, follow these guidelines for
loading your vehicle:
•Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put
heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible.
•Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear
axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight
over or behind the rear axle can cause the rear of the
vehicle to sway.
•Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the
seatback. This could impair visibility or become a
dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision.
WARNING!
To help protect against personal injury, passengers
should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear
cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes
only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and
use seat belts.
