LIFTGATE Unlock the liftgate (but not release it) with the power door lock system and remote entry key fob. To open the liftgate, pull the liftgate handle rearward. • Do not open the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed area with a low ceiling. If the liftgate is opened, the liftgate could be damaged against a low ceiling. • 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. Make sure that the liftgate door is closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the liftgate door open, keep the vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle. POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) (IF EQUIPPED) With this option, you can power open or close the liftgate with the provided controls. • overhead console button • key fob button • outside release handle 85 2004 Freestar (win) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
