Driver Controls LIFTGATE • To open the liftgate window, unlock the liftgate (with the power door locks or the remote entry) and push the right side control button under the license plate lamp shield. • To open the liftgate, unlock the liftgate (with the power door locks or the remote entry) and push the middle control button under the license plate lamp shield. To lock the liftgate and the liftgate window, use the power door locks. Do not open the liftgate or liftgate glass in a garage or other enclosed area with a low ceiling. If the liftgate glass is raised and the liftgate is also opened, both liftgate and glass could be damaged against a low ceiling. Do not leave the liftgate or liftgate glass 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. WARNING: Make sure that the liftgate door and/or window are closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which can injure your lungs and cause drowsiness and even death. This will also prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the liftgate door or window open, keep the vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle. CARGO AREA FEATURES Cargo shade (if equipped) If your vehicle has a cargo shade, you can use it to cover items in the cargo area of your vehicle. 79 2009 Mariner (mrn) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
