The dome lamps will come on when you open a door
and the dome override button is
in the out position.
You can also turn the dome lamps on by turning
the thumbwheel, located next to the exterior lamps
control, all the way up. In this position, the dome lamps
will remain on whether the doors are opened or
closed.
*: You can use the dome override button, located
below the exterior lamps control, to set the dome lamps
to come on automatically when the doors are opened,
or to remain
off. To turn the lamps off, press the button
to the
in position. With the button in this position, the
dome lamps will remain
off when the doors are open. To
return the lamps to automatic operation, press the
button again and return the button to the out position.
With the button
in this position, the dome lamps
will come on when you open a door.
Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome, reading, glove box, and
underhood lamps
if they are left on for more than
10 minutes when the ignition is turned off. The cargo
lamp will shut
off after 20 minutes. This will keep
your battery from running down.

electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or
other devices designed to operate with vehicle electrical
systems.

outlets. The front outlet is located next to the floor

Add-on Equipment
When you carry removable items, you may need to put
a limit on how many people you carry inside your
vehicle. Be sure to weigh your vehicle before you buy
and install the new equipment.
Notice: Your warranty does not cover parts or
components that fail because of overloading.
Remember not to exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) of the front
or rear axle.

should not exceed

Truck-Camper Loading Information
This label is inside your glove box. It will tell you if
your vehicle can carry a slide-in camper, how much of a
load your vehicle can carry, and how
to correctly
spread out your load. Also, it will help you match the
right slide-in camper
to your vehicle.
When you carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo load
of your vehicle is the weight of the camper, plus
everything else added to the camper after it left the
factory,
everything in the camper and
all the people inside.
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry.
It doesn’t
include the weight of the people inside. But, you
can figure about
150 Ibs. (68 kg) for each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than your
vehicle’s CWR.
4-48

Refer to the Truck-Camper Loading Information label in
glove box for dimensions
A and B as shown in the
following illustration.
Use the rear edge
of the load floor for measurement
purposes. The recommended location for the cargo
center
of gravity is at point C for the CWR. It is the point
where the mass of a body is concentrated and,
if
suspended at that point, would balance the front and rear. Here
is an example of proper truck and camper match:
A. Camper Center of Gravity
B. Recommended Center of Gravity Location Zone
The camper’s center
of gravity should fall within
the center of gravity zone for your vehicle’s cargo load.
You must weigh any accessories or other equipment
that you add to your vehicle. Then, subtract this
extra weight from the CWR. This extra weight may
shorten the center
of gravity zone of your vehicle. Your
dealer can help you with this.
