Steel cargo grid *
Your vehicle can be equipped with a steel grid that helps prevent objects in the cargo compart-ment from moving forward into the passengerarea.
The steel grid is made up of the grid itself and two separate mounting brackets. Each of the brackets has a screw cover and there are two plastic sleeves for the grid.
WARNING
• No one should ever be allowed to remain in the cargo compartment when the vehi-cle is moving.
• The steel grid may only be used in therear position described in this article. Theceiling attachment points above the front seats are
not intended to anchor the
steel grid.
• The third row of seats (7-seat models
*
only): these seats must be folded down when the steel grid is mounted in thevehicle.
• After being mounted, be sure that thesteel grid is securely anchored in place.
Mounting1. Fold down the rear seats (second row of
seats in 7-seat models) and lift in the steelgrid through one of the rear doors or the tail-gate. The curved (convex) side of the gridshould face toward the cargo compartmentand the hooks on each side of the gridshould face upward. The mounting bracketsand plastic sleeves are not needed in thisstep.
2. Press one of the grid's hooks into the largerpart of the opening in the ceiling attachment point (1) as shown in the illustration.
3. Grasp the grid near the hook and move it toward the smaller opening (2).
> This secures the hook in the attachmentpoint.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the hook on the opposite side of the grid.
5. Attach the mounting bracket's hook through the cargo anchoring eyelet near the floor of the cargo compartment and insert the threa-ded section of the bracket through the grid'slower attachment hole (1).
6. Slide the plastic sleeve onto the threaded section of the of the mounting bracket withthe sleeve's flange turned upward and pressit down through the hole. Screw the screwcover into place until its underside is approx.0.2 in. (5 mm) from the grid (2).
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the opposite side.
8. Center the grid and tighten both mounting brackets alternately until the grid is held securely in place.
RemovingPerform the steps above in reverse order. The hooks can be removed before the plastic sleeves are removed from the holes in the grid.

Electrical sockets There are two 12-volt sockets in the tunnel con- sole, a 120-volt socket on the rear side of thetunnel console, and one 12-volt socket in the cargo area *.
120-volt socket in the tunnel console 3
120-volt socket in the tunnel console for the second row of seats
This socket is intended for 120-volt devices such as laptops, chargers, etc. The max. current provided is 150W.
Using the sockets
1. Slide down the cover over the socket and
plug in the device.
> The socket's indicator light will indicate itsstatus. The socket can only provide elec- trical current when the light is green.
2. Disconnect the device by pulling its plug, not its cord.
Pull up the cover over the socket when it is not inuse.
CAUTION
• Do not connect devices with large or heavy plugs that could come loose whiledriving.
• Do not use devices that can cause inter-ference with the vehicle's radio receiveror electrical system.
WARNING
• Be sure to place any devices connected to the socket safely so that they do notbecome projectiles in the event of a sud-den stop and injure the occupants of thevehicle.
• Be aware that connected devices maygenerate heat and become very hot.
• Only connect devices that function cor-rectly and are free from defects. Thesedevices should be intended for use in a120-volt, 60Hz socket with a plugintended for the socket in the vehicle andbe UL-approved (or the equivalentthereof).
• Never let the device, its plug or thesocket itself come in contact with fluidsof any kind. Never touch or use thesocket if it appears to be damaged orwet.
• Never connect multiple plugs, adapters orextension cords to the socket. This couldoverride the socket's safety functions.
• Never let children play or tamper with thesocket, or attempt to insert any objectsinto it. Never leave children unattended inthe vehicle when the socket is active.

An LED (Light Emitting Diode) on the socket indicates its status:
Status indicator light Socket status Action
Steady green light The socket is providing current to a connected device. None.
Flashing orange light The socket's voltage converter is too hot (the connected device draws too much current, etc. or the temperature in the passenger compartment is very high). Unplug the device, let the converter cool down and plug in the device again.
The connected device draws too much current (constantly or currently) or is notfunctioning properly. None. The device should not be plugged into thesocket.

The electrical sockets can be used for 12-volt devices such as monitors, MP3 players and cellphones. For the sockets to provide electrical cur- rent, the ignition must be in at least mode
I.
WARNING
Always keep the sockets covered when not in use.
NOTE
Options and accessories such as monitors, MP3 players and cell phones that are con-nected to the 12-volt sockets may be acti-vated by the climate system even if the igni-tion is completely switched off or when thevehicle is locked if preconditioning is startedby a timer. For this reason, disconnect these devices from the sockets when they are not in use tohelp avoid battery drain.
CAUTION
Max. current provided is 10 A (120 W) if one socket is used at a time. If both of the sock-ets in the tunnel console are used at thesame time, the max. current provided persocket is 7.5 A (90 W) If a tire sealing system's compressor is being used, no other device should be connected toany of the other sockets while the compres-sor is operating.
