TONNEAU COVER (IF EQUIPPED) The tonneau cover has been designed to maximize fuel economy and should be fully installed whenever possible. The rear panel can be folded in half and secured behind the cab, or the whole cover can be removed completely from the vehicle. To avoid damage to the cover, do not operate the vehicle unless the cover is fully installed, or securely stowed. To open the front panel: • Open the lock cover and unlock the front or rear panel. • Lift the panel to access items in the pickup box. The panels will automatically lock when lowered onto the pickup box. • To close, lower the front or rear panel down on the pickup box. 59
