The vehicle may have this feature, a soft top cargo cover. The cargo cover is made of a waterproof, welded, plastic coated polyester. For care and cleaning of the cargo cover, see cargo cover under Service and Appearance Care. The cover must be fully installed and properly anchored before traveling on the highway.

Notice: If you raise or lower the cargo cover while the vehicle is in motion, you could damage the cover or the cover components. The repair would not be covered under your vehicle's warranty. Always put the automatic transmission in PARK (P) and the transfer case in a drive gear and not in NEUTRAL before raising or lowering the cargo cover.

The side panels and rear panel of the cargo cover can be rolled up. The cargo cover allows ventilation within the closed portion through opening vents located on the front and rear of the top.
