Your vehicle may have a cargo net system that attaches to the side rails and tailgate to help keep items in your cargo area from moving around.

To install the cargo net system, do the following:

1. If your vehicle has the side-saddle storage bins installed, remove the bins before installing the cargo net. See Side-Saddle Storage for instructions. Once the cargo net system has been installed, the side-saddle storage bins can be reinstalled.

Removable Endcaps Shown




2. Locate and remove the endcaps from the forward ends of the cargo area side rails.

If your vehicle has an access slot on the forward ends of the side rails use this for attachment of the cargo net, the endcaps do not need to be removed to attach the cargo net to the vehicle.

Side Rail with End Cap Removed Shown




3. Insert a locking tab into the forward end of each side rail and slide the tabs rearward. Then reinstall the endcaps on the forward ends of the side rails.

If your vehicle has an access slot on the forward end of each side rail, insert the locking tab into the access slot and slide the tabs rearward.




4. Loosen the knobs located on top of the telescoping cross bar by turning them counterclockwise.



5. Position the cross bar vertically between the side rails as shown.



6. Insert the tabs located at each end of the cross bar into the side rails.

You may need to adjust the length of the cross bar to make it fit between the side rails.




7. Turn the cross bar so that it is horizontal as shown.



8. Slide the locking tabs in the side rails until they are aligned with the knobs on the cross bar as shown and loosely tighten the knobs.
9. Slide the cross bar to the desired location and adjust the length of the bar as necessary.
10. Tighten all the cross bar knobs.
11. Remove the pushpins located on the outboard sides of the tailgate near the top.
12. Install and tighten a D-ring into each hole on the tailgate.

Be sure to use the D-rings supplied with the cargo net system that have 0.9 inches (22 mm) studs. Using other D-rings will not work because the studs will not be the correct length and the cargo net system will not be secured properly.

13. Clip the cargo net to the tailgate D-rings with the label facing up and on the driver's side of the vehicle.



14. Clip the other end of the cargo net to the telescoping cross bar as shown.



15. Wrap the Velcro® strap around the cross bar as shown to secure the middle portion of the cargo net.

Notice: Loading items that weigh more than 75 lbs (34 kg) in the cargo net could cause damage to the cargo net and/or your vehicle. Do not load heavy items in the cargo net.

Be sure to load items in the cargo area according to the proper load limits. See Loading the Vehicle for more information.

The cargo net system can be removed by reversing the installation procedure.
