Driver Controls Contact your dealer as soon as possible if these messages occur on a regular basis. POSITIVE RETENTION FLOOR MAT Position the driver floor mat so that the eyelet is over the pointed end of the retention post and rotate forward to lock in. Make sure that the mat does not interfere with the operation of the accelerator or the brake pedal. To remove the floor mat, reverse the installation procedure. REAR LIFTGATE The liftgate area is only intended for cargo, not passengers. You can open and close the liftgate from outside the vehicle. It cannot be opened from inside the cargo area. • To open the liftgate window, press the control on the remote entry key fob or, with the liftgate unlocked, push the control button on the right side under the license plate lamp shield. • To open the liftgate, unlock the liftgate (with the power door locks, the remote entry or the keyless entry pad) and pull the middle lever under the license plate lamp shield. To lock the liftgate and the liftgate window, use the power door locks or press the door lock switch on the left side of the cargo area. To manually lock or unlock the liftgate, move the button located below the window down or up. The liftgate door and window should be closed before driving. If not, possible damage may occur to your vehicle. 75 2004 Mountaineer (mnt) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
