Cargo Mounting Considerations 4-1
Section 4: Cargo Mounting Considerations
Cargo Area Equipment Mounting Guide
NOTICE: When installing equipment, it is important to consider the available clearance
between the brake lines and the fastener or component. Any fasteners or static components
should allow a minimum of 15 mm (0.60 in) clearance to the brake lines. Any dynamic
components should allow for a minimum of 19 mm (0.75 in) clearance to the brake lines.
NOTICE: Inspect behind trim and under the vehicle when determining mounting locations.
Be sure the drill/fasteners will not puncture/touch and will leave adequate clearance from
the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines, wiring harnesses, evaporative emissions (EVAP)
canister and the fuel pump shut-off switch as well as other vehicle systems. Refer to
Section 5: Reference Information in this guide for additional illustrations showing the
location of the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines and the fuel pump shut-off switch. Damage
to vehicle components may occur.
Be aware of the following component locations when mounting equipment in the cargo area:
• Fuel tank
• Fuel lines
• Brake lines
• Evaporative emissions (EVAP) canister
• Electronic modules
• Wiring harnesses
Safety Belt Retractor and Side Impact Sensor (if equipped)
WARNING: The installation of hardware must not interfere with the correct operation
of the safety belt, safety belt retractor, side impact sensor and the safety belt height
adjusters. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
