Driver Controls 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. Make sure the liftgate door and/or window are closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. LUGGAGE RACK Your vehicle is equipped with roof rack side rails and may be equipped with optional cross-bars. The maximum recommended load is 120 lbs (48 kg), evenly distributed on the cross-bars. If it is not possible to distribute the load, position it as far rearward as possible. Use the tie down loops (on the thumbwheels) to secure the load. To adjust cross-bar position: 1. Loosen the thumbwheel at both ends of the cross-bar (both cross-bars are adjustable). 2. Slide the cross-bar to the desired location. 3. Tighten the thumbwheel at both ends of the cross-bar. 157 2005 Aviator (231) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
