TONNEAU COVER (IF SO
EQUIPPED)
– If the tonneau cover contacts the top
tether strap when it is attached to
the top tether anchor, remove the
tonneau cover from the vehicle or
secure it on the cargo floor below its
attachment location. If the tonneau
cover is not removed, it may damage
the top tether strap during a colli-
sion.
WARNING
•
Never put anything on the tonneau
cover, no matter how small. Any object
on it could cause an injury in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
– Do not allow cargo to contact the
top tether strap when it is attached
to the top tether anchor. Properly
secure the cargo so it does not con-
tact the top tether strap. Cargo that
is not properly secured or that con-
tacts the top tether strap may dam-
age the top tether strap during a
collision.

•
Do not leave the tonneau cover in the
vehicle with it disengaged from the

straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
