Closing the tailgate
When closing the tailgate, make sure that the latches
or levers are securely locked.
TIE DOWN HOOKS (where fitted)
For your convenience, four tie down hooks are
placed on the inside of the cargo bed. These may be
used to help secure cargo loaded into the cargo
bed.
• The weight of the cargo load must be evenly dis-
tributed over both the front and rear axles.
• All cargo should be securely fastened with ropes
or straps to prevent it from shifting or sliding
within the vehicle.
C-CHANNEL SYSTEM (where fitted) WARNING
• 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-
secured cargo could cause personal injury.
• Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps
to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. In a
sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
• Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks.
In
as udden stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
• 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

2. Insert the cleat into the channel perpendicular to
the channel as shown. Then rotate the cleat
clockwise 90º and slide it to desired location.
3. Position the cleat so the nubs on the bottom fully seat into the channel detents. 4. There should be no gap between the bottom of
the cleat and the top of the channel. Securely
tighten the centre bolt. JVP0359XZ JVP0360XZ JVP0362XZ
