Driver Controls BED EXTENDER (IF EQUIPPED) Your vehicle may be equipped with a bed extender designed to extend the pickup box for longer loads. To extend the bed extender: 1. Lower tailgate. 2. Pull the round knobs on each side of the extender to release it from the pickup box. 3. Pivot extender on to the tailgate. 4. Evenly push down on the extender and push the round knobs in on each side locking it in place. Green markings on the shaft indicate the locked position. The locking clip screws below the middle bar can be tightened counterclockwise for extra security. Note: If the red marking on the shaft is visible, the bed extender is not locked or properly secured. To stow the bed extender, follow steps one through four in reverse order. The bed extender may be used to secure a load of up to 46 kg (100 lbs.) on the tailgate. The bed extender should always be kept in the stowed position with the tailgate closed when not in use. When driving the vehicle off road, the bed extender should be removed and the tailgate closed. 82 2004 F150 (f12) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
