Kia Sorento: Cargo security screen: (if equipped)

Use the retractable cargo security screen to conceal valuables and personal items stored in the rear trunk area of your Kia Sorento from outside view.

NOTE

Never place heavy luggage, boxes, or heavy cargo directly on top of the extended cargo security screen fabric, as this will permanently stretch and damage the assembly. Unsecured luggage placed on top can also break free and injure vehicle occupants during sudden braking or an accident.

WARNING

• Never allow any passenger to ride in the rear luggage compartment. The trunk area is engineered strictly for cargo transport.

• Maintain proper vehicle weight distribution by packing heavier pieces of luggage as far forward against the rear seatbacks as possible.

To use the cargo security screen

1. Grasp the integrated handle (1) and pull the cargo security screen smoothly toward the rear of the vehicle.
2. Insert both guide pins securely into the side retention slots (2).

   NOTE

   To prevent the spring-loaded guide pins from accidentally slipping out of their track slots, always pull and guide the cargo security screen straight out using the centered handle.

3. When you no longer need the security screen extended, pull the handle slightly backward and lift up to release the guide pins from their side slots.

   The cargo security screen will automatically recoil and slide back into its spring-loaded housing roll.

   TIP

   The cargo security screen may fail to retract automatically if it was not pulled out to its full extension lock point. Pull it out fully to release the internal ratchet mechanism and then let go.

2. While holding the guide pin compressed inward, lift and pull the entire cargo security screen assembly out of its mounting brackets.
