Cadillac 2008 Escalade EXT Automobile User Manual


 
All-Weather Cargo Area
Your vehicle has the ability to operate in many different
configurations—cargo panels on or off, Midgate
®
up or down, rear glass in or out. The vehicle has
features to help it resist the elements and protect cargo
inside the cargo area. Your vehicle is designed to
quickly direct water out of the cargo box. The top
drain grates, side rail channels, catch cups, Midgate
®
drain, cargo area floor drains and the rubber cargo
mat help do this.

and the cover system is on, there may be some
instances (heavy rains, automated car washes, etc.)
when water may be present in the following areas:
A. Top drain grates
B. Removable
front drain grate
(Midgate
®
drain grate)
C. Side rail channels
and catch cups
D. Front drains
E. Water drainage area
(around both sides of
the cargo box and
tailgate side)
F. Rear drains
G. Cargo floor
H. Cargo mat (central area of
mat is intended to be dry)
