liftgate handle to open the liftgate.
INTERIOR LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT RELEASE (SEDAN)
WARNING:Keep vehicle doors and luggage compartment locked
and keep keys and remote transmitters out of a child’s reach.
Unsupervised children could lock themselves in the trunk and risk
injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
WARNING:Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or animals
unattended in your vehicle. On hot days, the temperature in the
trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people or
animals to these high temperatures for even a short time can cause
death or serious heat-related injuries, including brain damage. Small
children are particularly at risk.
Your vehicle is equipped with a release handle that provides a means of
escape for children and adults if they become locked inside the luggage
compartment.

Electronic Utility Tray (If Equipped, Sedan Only)
Note:Make sure the key is not in the trunk vault before moving the tray
rearward.
Note:You must latch the tray in the forward position before operating
the vehicle. This helps prevent damage to your vehicle or equipment.
You can use the tray to mount
electronic equipment. It will
latch in either the full-forward or
full-rearward position. Push down
on the levers on both sides of the
tray to release the latches and
move the tray.
ROOF RACKS AND LOAD CARRIERS
(IF EQUIPPED, UTILITY ONLY)
WARNING:When loading the roof rail crossbars, it is
recommended to evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a
low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with higher centers of gravity,
may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such
as slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken
when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
Note:The maximum recommended load is 100 pounds (45 kilograms),
evenly distributed on the crossbars.
Note:Never place loads directly on the roof panel. The roof panel is not
designed to directly carry a load.
For proper function of the roof rack system, you must place loads
directly on crossbars affixed to the roof rack side rails. Your vehicle may
be equipped with factory-installed crossbars. Ford Genuine Accessory
crossbars, designed specifically for your vehicle, are also recommended
for use with your roof rack system.
Make sure that the load is securely fastened. Check the tightness of the
load before driving and at each fuel stop.
