guide and the tailgate bumper. Do this on both sides of
the tailgate.
To return the tailgate to the full-open position:
1. Lift up on the tailgate.
2. Remove both cables from between the cable guides
and the tailgate bumpers, and lower the tailgate.
CAUTION!
• Care should always be exercised when operating a
vehicle with cargo. Vehicle 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.
• Ensure the load is securely tied down and is
properly identified according to local laws if it
extends beyond the tail lights.
• Loading should not exceed 400 lbs (181 kg) of
material suspended above the wheelhouse and par-
tially open tailgate or vehicle damage may result.
