Accessory Mounting Points

Note: Remove the plugs before use.
Spare Tire Carrier Reinforcement
Your vehicle comes with a spare tire carrier reinforcement that has an accessory-ready spot to add your own gear to the rear swing gate. This is intended for light accessories such as a flagpole, a camera or a light.
One attachment point is intended for up to 1.4 kg (3 lb) loads.
The attachment hole is an M6x1mm with 35 mm (1.38 in) thread depth. Select a fastener that equals the thickness of your mounting bracket plus 20–30 mm (0.79–1.18 in) into the accessory mounting hole.
We recommend at least a Grade 10.9 fastener when selecting a mounting fastener. Please use at least 10 Nm (7.4 lb.ft) of torque when installing.
Guidance for Door Swing
The rear swing gate opens to 120 °, which leaves very limited space when fully opened. Make sure items fit within the space provided otherwise tail lamp damage can occur.

Rear Wheel Stone Guard
The rear wheel flares on your vehicle have replaceable stone guard panels on the forward lower portion of the wheel flare on each side of the vehicle. Replacing the complete wheel flare assembly is not necessary if the stone guard is damaged during use. See your authorized dealer for more information.
