AILGATE

The vehicle’s tailgate can be set to three 

positions: open, mid, or closed. The mid 

position can be used to provide a loading 

surface for transporting sheet goods.

To use the mid position, open the tailgate and 

lower it to near mid position.

Tailgate In Mid Position

Secure the tailgate in this position by looping 

the tailgate straps behind the circular retainer 

on both sides.

Loop Tailgate Strap Behind Circular Retainer

Ensure the tailgate strap is properly seated 

behind the circular retainer against the sides of 

the sheet metal.
