GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 103
Closing
To close the tailgate, push it upward until both sides are
latched.
NOTE:
Pull back on the tailgate firmly after closing to ensure it is
securely latched.
Bed Step — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with an extendable bed step
on the driver’s side of the tailgate to provide easier entry and
exit into the truck bed.
Bed Step Location
Bed Step Components
To extend the bed step, place your foot on the protruding
foot tab located on the left edge of the bed step, and push
rearward. A small amount of force will release the spring
load, and extend the bed step out and away from the tailgate.
NOTE:
Once the spring load is overcome, the bed step will extend
out quickly, so be sure to stand in a position that will avoid
coming into contact with the step as it extends.
