Latch lockout system for the tailgate
[FV07001(B )05/90]
The tailgate is equipped with a latch lockout
system which prevents you from opening it

When driving your vehicle make sure that
the tailgate door and window are closed
to prevent exhaust fumes from being
drawn into the vehicle. This will also
prevent passengers and cargo from falling
out.

purchased at most pharmacies, watch stores or
at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.

vehicle (buildings, other vehicles, radio
and TV towers, etc.). Typical operating
range will allow you to be up to 33
feet (10 meters) away from your
vehicle.
