Hood Release
WARNING
Tailgate Open While Driving:
Do not drive your truck with the
tailgate open unless there is a load
holding it in place. Without a load,
a bump in the road or rough terrain
could make the tailgate bounce and
disconnect from your truck. The
loose tailgate could be damaged and
could endanger other motorists.
1. Pull down the release handle located
below the steering column.
2. Slide the safety catch to the left and
lift the hood.
