Driver Controls Interior tonneau cover release Your vehicle is equipped with a mechanical interior tonneau cover release handle that provides a means of escape for children and adults in the event they become locked inside the pickup box. Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and location of the release handle. To open the tonneau cover from the inside, pull the "T" shaped handle and push up on the tonneau cover panel. The handle is composed of a material that will glow for hours in darkness following brief exposure to ambient light. The "T" shaped handle is located on the tonneau cover panel. Keep vehicle doors and tonneau cover locked and keep keys and remote transmitters out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children could lock themselves in the box and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles. On hot days, the temperature in the pickup box can rise very quickly. Exposure of people or animals to these high temperatures for even a short time can cause death or serious heat-related injuries, including brain damage. Small children are particularly at risk. 59
