NOTE
If you find the key hard to turn when unlocking the
rear section, press the middle of the rear section
with your other hand while turning the key. „Internal hard bed cover release handle
Never allow any child to get in the cargo bed
and play with the release handle. If the driver
starts the vehicle without knowing that a child
is inside the cargo bed and the child opens the
lid using the release handle, the child could fall
out and be killed or seriously injured.
yDo not close the hard bed cover while grip-
ping the release handle. The handle may be
damaged. y Do not use the handle as a hook to fasten
straps or ropes to secure your cargo in the car-
go bed. Such use may result in damage of the
handle. y Load the cargo bed so that cargo can not strike the release handle. If the cargo hits the
handle while the vehicle is being driven, the
handle may be pushed and the hard bed cover
may open. That may cause cargo to fall out of
the cargo bed, which could create a traffic safe-
ty hazard.
The internal release handle is designed to open the
hard bed cover from inside the cargo bed. In the event
that children or adults become locked inside the cargo
bed, the handle allows them to open the cover. The
handle is located at the back of the rear section of thecover.
