82 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
You can carry wide building materials (sheets of
plywood, etc.) by building a raised load floor. Place
lumber across the box in the indentations provided
above the wheel housings and in the bulkhead
dividers to form the floor.
There are stampings in the sheet metal on the
inner side bulkheads of the box in front of and
behind both wheel housings. Place wooden boards
across the box from side to side to create separate
load compartments in the pickup box.
There are four tie-down cleats bolted to the lower
si
des of the pickup box that can sustain loads up
to 1000 lb (450 kg) total.
CARGO CAMERA IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cargo
Camera that allows you to see an image of the
inside of the pickup box. The image will be
displayed in the Uconnect screen.
The Cargo Camera is located in the bottom center
area of the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp
(CHMSL).
A touchscreen button to indicate the
current active camera image being
d
isplayed is made available whenever
the Cargo Camera image is displayed.
A touchscreen button to switch the
display to rear view camera image is
m
ade available whenever the Cargo
Camera image is displayed.
A touchscreen X button to disable display of the
ca
mera image is made available when the vehicle
is not in REVERSE gear.
A display timer is initiated when the Cargo Camera
im
age is displayed. The image will continue to be
displayed until the display timer exceeds 10 sec-
onds and the vehicle speed is above 8
mph
(1
3 km/h) or the touchscreen X button to disable
di
splay of the Cargo Camera image is pressed.
Cargo Camera With Dynamic Centerline (Available
With Surround View Camera Only) — If Equipped
The Dynamic Centerline feature provides an
overlay on the Cargo Camera display screen that
aligns to the center of the pickup box to aid in
hooking up a fifth wheel camper or gooseneck
trailer. The centerline auto aligns to the center of
the pickup box, and can also be manually adjusted.
The centerline will adjust in response to steering
angle inputs, and will not obstruct the gooseneck
receiver or an approaching trailer gooseneck in the
camera feed.
Activation
The Dynamic Centerline feature can be activated
th
rough the Uconnect Settings by pressing the
Cargo Camera button, followed by the Adjust
Centerline button on the touchscreen.
If the Dynamic Centerline feature is turned on, the
overlay will display anytime the Cargo Camera
image is displayed.
WARNING!
The pickup box is intended for load carrying
purposes only, not for passengers, who should
sit in seats and use seat belts.
Care should always be exercised when oper-
ating a vehicle with unrestrained cargo.
Ve
hicle speeds may need to be reduced.
Severe turns or rough roads may cause
shifting or bouncing of the cargo that may
result in vehicle damage. If wide building
materials are to be frequently carried, the
installation of a support is recommended. This
will restrain the cargo and transfer the load to
the pickup box floor.
If you wish to carry more than 600 lb (272 kg)
of material suspended above the wheelhouse,
supports must be installed to transfer the
weight of the load to the pickup box floor or
vehicle damage may result. The use of proper
supports will permit loading up to the rated
payload.
Unrestrained cargo may be thrown forward in
an accident causing serious or fatal injury.
