Bed extender (if equipped)

The bed extender is designed to increase the usable
cargo area of the bed.
" When the tailgate and bed extender are in the
"open/outward" position, the license plate
bracket must be lowered and locked into posi-
tion before the vehicle is driven (see section
"License plate bracket" under the heading of
"Tailgate" in Chapter 2 for more information on
the function of the license plate bracket). In or-
der to avoid damaging the license plate bracket
or the bumper, make certain that the license
plate bracket is in its fully lowered/open posi-
tion before the tailgate is lowered.
" Do not exceed the cargo load rating of your
vehicle. Refer to "Loading your vehicle" sec-
tion in Chapter 8.
" Locking buckles must be engaged into the
tailgate latch while the vehicle is in motion.
" When the bed extender is not in use, the tail-
gate should be closed.
" Do not use the bed extender or tailgate to se-
cure cargo.
