hill descent control switch
(if so equipped)
The hill descent control system is designed to reduce driver
workload when going down steep hills. The hill descent
control system helps to control vehicle speed so the driver can
concentrate on steering the vehicle.
To activate the hill descent control system:
The automatic transmission selector lever must be in
forward or reverse gear,
The 4WD switch must be in the 4L position and the vehicle speed must be under 15
MPH (25 km/h), or
The 4WD switch must be in the 4H position and the vehicle speed must be under 21
MPH (35 km/h), and
The hill descent control system switch must be on.
The hill descent control indicator light will come on when the system is activated.
Also, the stop/tail lights illuminate while the hill descent control system applies the
brakes to control vehicle speed. To turn off the hill descent control system, push the
switch to the off position. The hill descent control system is temporarily disabled when
the brake or accelerator pedal is depressed.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for detailed information.

The Utili-track™ channel system allows you to move
tie-down clamps in the bed to the best location to
secure a load.
The tie-down cleats must be installed so the
clamp is properly seated in the notches in the
rail. If the tie-down cleat is not seated in the
notches, it will not be flush with the rail and
cannot be properly tightened. The bolt in the center of the cleat must be tightened
hand-tight (20 – 40 inch pounds).
Check the tightness of the tie-down cleat periodically during a trip to make sure the
center bolt has not become loose.
The channel end stoppers can be used to help prevent cargo from sliding or shifting
off the end of the truck bed. They must be installed so they are properly seated in the
detents in the channel.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for loading limits and tie-down recommendations.
