ensure it functions properly. See your owner's manual on page 214 for care of the adaptive cruise.
1. To remove the factory bumper, you will need to remove the center plastic insert from the bumper. There
will be several clips that hold it in place. This will allow you to have access to the bumper bolts.

and removed. It will be installed later.

the bottom brackets to the bottom of the frame and then the tow hooks. Use the factory bolts to install.

guard.

the bumper from side to side then tighten the bottom bolts to the frame
13. Line up the bumper to the truck. The holes are slotted so the bumper can be raised or lowered. It also can
