2006 Mercury Monterey park assist

To power close the PSD with the inside or outside release handle:
•Manually pull the door about 6 inches in the desired direction of
travel. The power door assist will take over and complete the open or
close operation.
Pressing any of the switches, overhead console, second row passenger, or
remote entry transmitter while the door is moving will cause the door to
either reverse direction or stop depending on the position and direction
of movement of the door.
To power open or close the PSD with the remote entry
transmitter:
Refer to theRemote entry systemsection in this chapter. Operating the
transmitter will also simultaneously unlock the doors.
Disabling PSD power operation
Pressing the Power Door Lockout Control to the OFF position prevents
power operation of the PSD using the rear seat control(s), inside or
outside handle or by manually moving the door. With the PSD rear
controls disabled, the door(s) can be opened manually with the inside or
outside handles. With the Power Door Lockout control in the OFF
position, the overhead console right and left hand controls and the
Remote Entry System remain functional. Disabling the PSD may be
desirable to prevent power operation of the door by rear seat passengers
or if manual operation of the door is desired or necessary when the
vehicle is stopped or parked on a steep downhill grade.
Refer to theManual operation of the sliding doorsection in this
chapter for more information.
With the child safety lock engaged, the inside handle operation will
always be disabled regardless of the position of the Power Door Lockout
control. Refer to theSliding door child safety locksection in this
chapter for more information. The trim mounted rear seat control and
the outside handle remain functional for power operation.
Safety/Obstructions
If anything obstructs the Power Sliding Door while it is power closing or
opening, the door will automatically reverse or stop depending on the
position of the door, provided it meets sufficient resistance.

To power open the PLG with
outside release handle:

using the remote entry transmitter
or power door unlock. Refer to
Remote Entry Systemin theLocks
and securitychapter.
3. Pull up on the liftgate handle to engage the power assist feature.
Release the handle as soon as the PLG begins to power open.
Note:Continued force applied after unlatching may activate the obstacle
detection feature and stop the power system. For the best performance
allow the power system to open the PLG after releasing the handle.
To power close the PLG from the
liftgate trim switch:
1. Ensure the Power Door Lockout
Control is in the ON position.
2. Press and release the control on
the bottom of the liftgate trim panel
to engage the power assist feature.
If a single chime is heard, check to
be sure that the Power Door
Lockout Switch is set to ON and
that the transaxle is in Park.
To operate the PLG manually:
1. Disable the liftgate power function by placing the Power Door Lockout
Control in the OFF position.
2. Open and close the liftgate as you would a standard liftgate.
Note:In case of operation in extreme cold -40° F (-40° C), or on
extreme inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested.
Safety/Obstructions
If anything obstructs the PLG while it is power opening or closing, the
PLG will automatically reverse or stop depending on the position of the
liftgate, provided it meets sufficient resistance. If the PLG encounters an
obstacle while closing, the PLG will reverse to full open. Once the
obstacle is removed, the PLG can be again closed under power. If the

ABS warning lamp
The ABS lamp in the instrument
cluster momentarily illuminates
when the ignition is turned on. If
the light does not illuminate during
start up, remains on or flashes, the
ABS may be disabled and may need to be serviced.
Even when the ABS is disabled,
normal braking is still effective. (If
your BRAKE warning lamp
illuminates with the parking brake
released, have your brake system
serviced immediately by an authorized dealer.)
Using ABS
When hard braking is required, apply continuous force on the brake
pedal; do not pump the brake pedal since this will reduce the
effectiveness of the ABS and will increase your vehicle’s stopping
distance. The ABS will be activated if wheelslip or skidding is detected,
optimizing your stopping distance and allowing you to retain steering
control.
Brake Assist (if equipped as part of the AdvanceTracsystem)
The Brake Assist system provides full braking force during panic braking
situations. It detects a rapid application of the brake pedal and
maximizes the amount of brake booster assist, helping the driver to
achieve maximum braking pressure. Once a panic brake application is
detected, the system will remain activated as long as the brake pedal is
depressed. The system is deactivated by releasing the brake pedal.
When the system activates, the brake pedal will travel with very little
effort; this is normal.

terminal of the battery to be jumped. A spark may cause an
explosion of the gases that surround the battery.
5. Ensure that the cables are clear of fan blades, belts, moving parts of
both engines, or any fuel delivery system parts.
Jump starting
1. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and run the engine at
moderately increased speed.
