the license plate bracket must be placed at its fully lowered/open posi-

To use the license plate bracket at its lowered/open position, push the
two release buttons and pull the license plate bracket up until it clicks.
And then open the tailgate.
If your vehicle is equipped with a trailer hitch, remove the ball mount
from the hitch receiver tube before opening the tailgate. Failure to follow
this procedure could result in damage to the license plate bracket.
When you drive with the tailgate closed, the license plate bracket must
be restored to its original position.
To restore the license plate bracket to its original position, close the tail-
gate, and then pull the license plate bracket down until it clicks.
If the license plate bracket is hard to be restored to its original position,
mud may have accumulated on the back of the license plate bracket.
Remove accumulated mud before pulling the license bracket down.
