To remove a cargo panel(s), do the following: 1. Lower the tailgate. Use the ignition/door key to unlock the tailgate if it is locked. See "Tailgate" in the Index for more information on the tailgate. 2. Remove cargo panel 3 by pulling the left and right cargo panel latches, located on the bottom of each cargo panel, toward you to release (unlock) the cargo panel latches. 3. Pull the cargo panel up and then out from the side rails and set it aside. You only need to remove as many cargo panels as needed for your cargo carrying needs. Before removing the cargo panel(s), notice the numbers embossed on the upper center portion of each panel. The panels are labeled 1, 2 and 3. There are also numbered labels on the bottom of the panels. The numbers on the top and bottom of the panels will be used as reference when removing, storing and reinstalling the panels. 2-74
