CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2007 1.G Owners Manual

Your vehicle has a Center High-Mounted Stoplamp
(CHMSL) located above the rear glass.
If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle, care
should be taken not to block or damage the
CHMSL unit.
Rear Seat Armrest
Your vehicle may have a rear seat armrest that
contains two cupholders. To access the
cupholders, pull the armrest down from the rear
seatback.
Cargo Management System
Your vehicle may have a cargo management
system. It is located in the bed of the truck. The
system contains three rails located on the front and
sides of the bed.
The system will include four adjustable cargo
tie-downs. The tie-downs can be placed on the
upper and lower slides of the rail.To adjust a tie-down, pull the locator pin out and
move the tie-down to another location making sure
the locator pin lines up with a locator hole on
the rail. If the locator pin does not line up with the
locator hole, the tie-down may be installed
incorrectly. Turn it over and reinstall. Once the pin
is inside the hole, the tie-down will not move
side to side. The maximum load for each rail is
500 lbs (227 kg).
The rails are notched at each end which allows the
tie-downs to be removed and placed on another
rail. To remove, pull the locator pin out and slide the
tie-down to the end of the rail and pull back.
201

To remove or install cargo tie-downs at the front of
the bed, slide the corner cap towards the center of
the bed to expose the rail notches. To remove the
corner cap, pull either edge away from the rail.
To remove the system, loosen the toggle bolts on
each rail until they can be removed from the bed of
the truck. To replace the system, place the toggle
bolts and rails into their original locations and
tighten them to a torque setting of
12.5 ft-lbs (17
Y).
If the system is removed to install a bed liner, make
sure there is no bed liner material in the installation
points.
Notice:If you tie down cargo using the
horizontal slots on the top of the pickup box,
you may damage the box. Using the horizontal
slots on the top of the pickup box for tie-down
locations may cause damage to the pickup box
and would not be covered by your warranty.
Only use the tie-down loops if you do not have
the cargo management system.
