BEDRAILS (IF EQUIPPED)
• This bedrail is for appearance use only.
To help prevent injury, do not use bedrail to retain cargo.
• Retain cargo with the pickup tie down hooks.
BED EXTENDER (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a bed extender designed to extend
the pickup box for longer loads.
To extend the bed extender:
1. Lower tailgate.
2. Pull the round knobs on each side
of the extender to release it from
the pickup box.
3. Pivot extender on to the tailgate.
4. Evenly push down on the
extender and push the round knobs
in on each side locking it in place.
Green markings on the shaft
indicate the locked position. The
locking clip screws below the middle
bar can be tightened
counterclockwise for extra security.
Note: If the red marking on the
shaft is visible, the bed extender
is not locked or properly secured.
To stow the bed extender, follow steps one through four in reverse order.
The bed extender may be used to secure a load of up to 100 lb. (46 kg)
on the tailgate.
The bed extender should always be kept in the stowed position
with the tailgate closed when not in use.
When driving the vehicle off road, the bed extender should be in
the stowed position and the tailgate closed.
