2018 NISSAN TITAN Owner´s Manual

NOTE:
If the bed liner storage bins (if so
equipped) are installed on the vehicle,
use type B cleats (if so equipped) in the
side channel locations. The use of type A
cleats (if so equipped) in the side channel
locations with the bed liner storage bins
installed will interfere with bed liner
storage bin lid operation. For additional
information on bed liner storage bins, re-
fer to “Storage” in the “Instruments and
controls” section of this manual.
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 tight-
ened hand tight (20 – 40 in-lbs.)
Check the tightness of the tie-down cleat
periodically during a trip to make sure the
center bolt has not become loose.Install the tie-down cleat as follows:
1. Remove the channel protectors by slid- ing them out the back of the truck bed.
Properly store the channel protectors.
2. Loosen the center bolt completely.
3. Insert the cleat into the channel per-pendicular to the channel as shown.
Then rotate the cleat clockwise 90° and
slide it to the desired location.

WARNING
Do not install accessories over the gap
between the front and rear side chan-
nels. Doing this could affect the rear
structure in certain rear impacts, which
could result in serious injury.
LOADING TIPS
∙ The GVW must not exceed GVWRor GAWR as specified on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification
label. ∙ Do not load the front and rear
axle to the GAWR. Doing so will
exceed the GVWR.
WARNING
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent
it from sliding or shif ting. Do not
place cargo higher than the
seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury. ∙ Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR or the
maximum front and rear
GAWRs. If you do, parts of your
vehicle can break, tire damage
could occur, or it can change the
way your vehicle handles. This
could result in loss of control
and cause personal injury.
∙ Overloading not only can shorten the life of your vehicle
and the tire, but can also cause
unsafe vehicle handling and
longer braking distances. This
may cause a premature tire fail-
ure which could result in a seri-
ous accident and personal in-
jury. Failures caused by
overloading are not covered by
the vehicle’s warranty.
