Interior and exterior equipments Remove the bed extender for vehicle "Off Road" use. To avoid creating a dangerous road hazard or causing personal injury, cargo must not stick out beyond the bed extender. To avoid damage, the tailgate and bed extender must remain in the closed/inward position when towing with a trailer hitch. To avoid damage, clean the bed extender only with soap, water and a soft brush. Open/Outward Position - To use the bed extender in the open/outward position, simply lower your license plate bracket (see section "License plate bracket" under heading of "Tailgate" in Chapter 2), open your tailgate, and rotate the bed extender until it sits on the tailgate. Operation UB8033AA UB8032AA After you have rotated the bed extender, lock the black buckle pin into the tailgate latch by pushing downward until you hear two clicks. Then tighten the tether straps. Repeat this process for the other side. When you want to return the tailgate and the bed extender to the closed/inward position, pull on the tailgate release handle to disengage the tethers. 6-18
