Driver Controls To lock the liftgate and the liftgate window, use the power door locks. The liftgate door and window should be closed before driving. If not, possible damage may occur to your vehicle. WARNING: Always close liftgate window before opening liftgate. Liftgate glass and liftgate should never be open at the same time. Failure to observe this warning may result in personal injury or damage to your vehicle. WARNING: Make sure the liftgate door and/or window are closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also reduce the risk of passengers and cargo falling out. LUGGAGE RACK Your vehicle is equipped with a roof rack for transporting items on the exterior of the vehicle. The maximum recommended load to be carried on the roof rack is 100 lb (45 kg), evenly distributed. The cross-bars (if equipped) can be adjusted by using the thumbwheels at each end. Use the tie-down loops on the thumbwheels to secure load. 152 2009 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
