AILGATE
The vehicle’s tailgate can be set to three
positions: open, mid, or closed. The mid
position can be used to provide a loading
surface for transporting sheet goods.
To use the mid position, open the tailgate and
lower it to near mid position.
Tailgate In Mid Position
Secure the tailgate in this position by looping
the tailgate straps behind the circular retainer
on both sides.
Loop Tailgate Strap Behind Circular Retainer
Ensure the tailgate strap is properly seated
behind the circular retainer against the sides of
the sheet metal.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving
your vehicle. If the hood is not fully latched, it
could open when the vehicle is in motion and
block your vision. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious injury or death.
