• Properly install and tighten the tie-down cleats
into the C-Channel system. Also, do not at-
tach any rope or straps directly to the chan- nel. Failure to properly install the tie-down
cleats or attaching ropes or straps directly to
the channel can cause the cargo to become
unsecured. In
asudden stop or collision, un-

• Overloading not only can shorten the life of
your vehicle and the tyre, but can also cause
unsafe vehicle handling and longer braking
distances. This may cause
apremature tyre
failure which could result in aserious acci-
dent and personal injury. Failures caused by
overloading are not covered by the vehicle’s
warranty.
• Do not install accessories over the gap be-
tween the front and rear side channels. Doing
so could affect the rear structure in certain
rear impacts, which could result in serious
injury.
The C-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
properly tightened. The bolt in the centre of the cleat
must be securely tightened.
Check the tightness of the tie-down cleat periodi-
cally during
atrip to make sure the centre bolt has
not become loose.
➀ Side channels
Install the tie-down cleat as follows:
1. Loosen the centre bolt completely. JVP0314XZ
