Section 2 Features and Controls

Reverse the procedure to reinstall the tonneau cover
using the following suggestions:
When reinstalling the front rail, start by holding the
back edge of the rail up and then twisting the back
edge down while pushing it into place.
Both bows are the same size and therefore
interchangeable.
When placing the bows in the side rails, it is easiest
to place the spring-loaded bow end in rst.
When placing the bows,
locate the small notches
(arrow) in the side rails.
These notches receive
the tang on the bow
ends and help the bows
seat into place.
When reinstalling the tonneau cover, start at the
front, near the cab. Place the plastic lip into the front
rail, then the rear rail, and nish with the side rails.
To clean the tonneau cover, use mild soap and water. If
necessary, use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt
trapped in the grain of the material.
Sunroof
Your vehicle may be equipped with a power sliding
sunroof. To open or close your sunroof, the ignition
needs to be on or RAP needs to be active. See
“Retained Accessory Power” underIgnition Positions on
page 2-31.
Press and release the rear side of the button located in
the front overhead console to express-open the glass
panel and sunshade. To close the glass panel,
press and hold the front of the button. The glass will not
be fully seated unless the button is held until the
glass stops moving. With the sunroof closed, press the
forward side of the button to open the sunroof to the
vent position.
The sunroof is also equipped with a sunshade which
you can pull forward to block sun rays.
2-89

If a hand, arm, or other object is blocking the sunroof
glass panel as it is closing, the glass panel will stop
at the obstruction. After the obstruction is removed, the
glass panel can be closed or opened.
Use care not to leave the sunroof open for long periods
of time as debris may collect in the tracks.
If the battery has been recharged, disconnected or is
not working, you may need to reprogram the sunroof. To
do this, start the vehicle and press the forward side of
the sunroof button until the glass panel moves to a fully
closed position. Release, and press again to move to
the vent position which occurs when the sunroof is fully
tilted rearward. This will reset the memory and enable
the sunroof to function properly.Vehicle Personalization
Memory Seat
If your vehicle has this
feature, then the controls
for the memory function are
located on the driver’s door.
These buttons are used to program and recall memory
settings for the driver’s seat, throttle and brake
pedals, both the driver’s and passenger’s outside mirror,
the radio station presets and the last chosen climate
control system settings. The settings for these features
can be personalized for both driver 1 and driver 2.
Driver 1 or driver 2 corresponds to the memory buttons
labeled 1 and 2 on the driver’s door and the numbers
on the back of the remote keyless entry transmitters.

XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
The XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof
of your vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and
ice build up for clear radio reception.
The performance of the XM™ system may be affected if
the sunroof is open.
Loading items onto the roof of your vehicle can interfere
with the performance of the XM™ system. Make sure
that the XM™ satellite antenna is not obstructed.
Chime Level Adjustment
The radio is the vehicle chime producer. To change the
volume level, press and hold pushbutton 6 with the
ignition on and the radio power off. The chime volume
level will change from the normal level to loud, and
LOUD will appear on the radio display. To change back
to the default or normal setting, press and hold
pushbutton 6 again. The chime level will change from
the loud level to normal, and NORMAL will appear
on the radio display. Each time the chime volume is
changed, three chimes will sound as an example of the
new volume selected. Removing the radio and not
replacing it with a factory radio or chime module will
disable vehicle chimes.
