Driver Controls -> CARGO COVER (IF EQUIPPED) for Your Ford Explorer SUV Third Generation (2002-2005)

Driver Controls  
The liftgate door and window should be closed before driving. If not,  
possible damage may occur to your vehicle.  
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  
reduce the risk of passengers and cargo falling out.  
CARGO COVER (IF EQUIPPED)  
Your vehicle may be equipped with a cargo area cover that covers the  
luggage compartment of your vehicle.  
To install the cover:  
Push both ends of the cover into the  
depressions (right side first) in the  
trim panels behind the second row  
seat.  
To reduce the risk of  
injuries, the cargo area  
cover must be properly installed  
on the rear trim panels.  
Do not place any objects on the cargo area cover. They may  
obstruct your vision or strike occupants of the vehicle in the  
case of a sudden stop or collision.  
Cargo management system  
The cargo management system consists of storage compartments located  
in the floor of the rear cargo area.
