Locks and Security Opening power liftgate (PLG) (if equipped) Press the control twice within three seconds to power open the power liftgate. The interior lamps will illuminate. Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate area before using the power liftgate controls to open or close the liftgate. Press the control another two times within three seconds to close the power liftgate and turn off the interior lights. If anything obstructs the power liftgate while it is power opening or closing, the power liftgate will automatically reverse or stop depending on the position of the liftgate, provided it meets sufficient resistance. If the power liftgate encounters an obstacle while closing, the power liftgate will reverse to full open. Once the obstacle is removed, the power liftgate can be again closed under power. If the power liftgate encounters an obstacle while opening, the power liftgate will stop when it encounters a solid obstacle. Close the liftgate manually and remove the obstruction. Normal operation can then be resumed. Make sure the power liftgate is closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. If you must drive with the liftgate open, keep the climate control vents open so that fresh outside air circulates through the vehicle. For more information regarding the operation of the power liftgate, refer to Power liftgate (PLG) (if equipped) in the Driver Controls chapter. Locking the doors 1. Press and release to lock all the doors and liftgate. The parking lamps will flash once if all doors, the liftgate and the hood are closed and locked. 2. Press and release again within three seconds to confirm that all the doors and liftgate are closed and locked. Note: The doors will lock again, the horn will chirp once, and the parking lamps will flash once more. If any of the doors, the liftgate or the hood are not properly closed, the horn will make two quick chirps. 90 2004 Monterey (mty) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
