72 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
CLOSING THE HOOD
To close the hood, remove the support rod from the
radiator crossmember, and install into the clip on the
hood. Lower the hood slowly. Secure both of the hood
latches.
TAILGATE
OPENING
Tailgate Release Handle
To open the tailgate, pull the release handle located on
the center of the tailgate and guide it to the lowered
position.
The tailgate is dampened to provide a slower, more
controlled lowering.
THREE-POSITION TAILGATE
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.
Correctly Seated Tailgate Strap
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.
