Driver Controls Wagon Pull out the roller cover and secure the retaining points. The cover can be removed completely by pressing inward on both ends of the support. To reduce the risk of injury, the luggage cover must be properly attached to the mounting clips. Do not place any objects on the cargo area cover. They may obstruct your vision or strike occupants of the vehicle in the case of a sudden stop or collision. The cover may cause injury in a sudden stop or accident if it is not securely installed. LIFTGATE (WAGON ONLY) You can open and close the liftgate from outside of the vehicle. • To open the liftgate, unlock the wagon (with the power door locks or the remote entry transmitter) and push the button next to the license plate. • To close the liftgate, grab the pull handle (if equipped) and pull the liftgate down. If the tailgate doesn't close due to a load, do not use the pull handle to tie the liftgate down. • To lock the liftgate, use the power door locks, or the remote entry transmitter to lock the wagon. Do not leave the liftgate open while driving. Doing so could cause serious damage to the liftgate and its components as well as allowing carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle. 51 2005 Focus (foc) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
