TONNEAU COVER (IF EQUIPPED)
The tonneau cover has been designed to maximize fuel economy and
should be fully installed whenever possible.
The cover can be rolled up and stowed behind the cab, or removed
completely from the vehicle.
•
To avoid damage to the cover, do not operate the vehicle unless the
cover is fully installed, or securely stowed.
Refer to
Tonneau cover care
in the
Maintenance and care
chapter.
The removal and stowage for styleside and flareside vehicles are basically
the same except where noted.
To remove or stow the cover:
1.
Styleside only:
In cold weather lower tailgate and release the levers
on each side of the rear rail to release tension on the cover.
2. Pull the rear corner assist loops
of the cover, outward, then upward
to release the tension. Lift up on the
rear edge of the cover to remove it
from the rear rail.
3. Pull one side of the cover
outward and upward away from the
side rail working from the rear to
the front.
