Steel cargo grid*
Your vehicle can be equipped with a steel gridthat helps prevent objects in the cargo area frommoving forward into the passenger compart-ment.
The steel grid is made up of the grid itself andtwo separate mounting brackets.
Each of the brackets has a screw cover and thereare two plastic sleeves for the grid.

WARNING
•No one should ever be allowed to remainin 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 frontseats are not intended to anchor thesteel grid.
•The third row of seats (7-seat models*only): these seats must be folded downwhen the steel grid is mounted in thevehicle.
•After being mounted, be sure that thesteel grid is securely anchored in place.
Mounting
1. Fold down the rear seats (second row ofseats 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 attachmentpoint (1) as shown in the illustration.
3.Grasp the grid near the hook and move ittoward the smaller opening (2).
> This secures the hook in the attachmentpoint.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the hook on theopposite side of the grid.
5. Attach the mounting bracket's hook throughthe cargo anchoring eyelet near the floor ofthe 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 threadedsection 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 mountingbrackets alternately until the grid is heldsecurely in place.

Removing
Perform the steps above in reverse order.
The hooks can be removed before the plasticsleeves 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 thecargo area*.

120-volt socket in the tunnel console 3
120-volt socket in the tunnel console for the secondrow of seats
This socket is intended for 120-volt devices suchas laptops, chargers, etc.
The max. current provided is 150W.
Using the sockets
1. Remove or pull down the cover over thesocket 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, notits cord.
Pull up the cover over the socket when it is not inuse.

CAUTION
•Do not connect devices with large orheavy 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 connectedto 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.
