UTILITY WARNING! • Always close the storage bin covers when your vehicle is unattended or in motion. • Do not allow children to have access to the storage bins. Once in the storage bin, young children may not be able to escape. If trapped in the storage bin, children can die from suffocation or heat stroke. • In a collision, serious injury could result if the storage bin covers are not properly latched. • Do not use a storage bin latch as a tie down. • To reduce the risk of potential injury or property damage: • Cargo must be secured. • Do not exceed cargo load rating of your vehicle. • Secure all loads to truck utilizing cargo tie-downs. • Extender should not be used as cargo tie-down. • When vehicle is in motion do not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg) load on the tailgate. • The bed extender is not intended for off road use. • When not in use, the extender/divider should be in stowed or divider position with the tailgate closed. • When in use, all handles are to be in the locked position. TRAILER TOWING WEIGHTS (MAXIMUM TRAILER WEIGHT RATINGS) NOTE: For additional trailer towing information (maximum trailer weight ratings) refer to the following website addresses: • http://www.ramtrucks.com. • http://www.ramtrucks.ca (Canada). INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE MODULE • The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller allows you to automatically or manually activate the electronic brakes on properly equipped trailers for greater stopping power on downhill grades. The controller and status display are on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel, and the included control lever can activate the trailer brakes independent of the truck's brakes. GAIN Adjustment Buttons (+/-) • Pressing the +/- buttons, located on the left side of the module, will increase/decrease the brake control power output to the trailer brakes in 0.5 increments. The GAIN setting can be increased to a maximum of 10 or decreased to a minimum of 0 (no trailer braking). • Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details. 60
