Information

It is normal for the under-floor storage compartment to have a smell when the vehicle is new. This smell is normal, safe, and will decrease over time, like any new vehicle smell.

PLEDGE

  • The under-bed storage must be dried before closing the cover to prevent mold growth.
  • Make sure the water drain channel and sealing surface are free of debris.
  • Do not store valuables in the under-bed storage.
  • Do not apply water directly to the under-bed storage latch. This may cause damage to the latch.

WARNING

  • Do not enter the under-bed storage.
  • If someone becomes trapped inside the storage compartment, pull the emergency release lever (1).

How to Open the Under-Bed Storage Cover Manually

If a power failure prevents the under-bed storage cover from opening, the latch can be mechanically released using the following steps:

1. Remove the tailgate assembly from its hinges.

2. Insert a hooked or ribbed tool between the cover and the bottom, where the release cable is located.

3. Apply even downward force to release the latch.
