Driver Controls -> LIFTGATE (WAGON ONLY) for Your Ford Focus 4 Door Second Generation (2004-2010)

Driver Controls  
LIFTGATE (WAGON ONLY)  
You can open and close the liftgate from outside of the vehicle.  
To open the liftgate, unlock the  
wagon (with the power door locks  
or the remote entry transmitter)  
and push the button next to the  
license plate.  
To close the liftgate, grab the pull  
handle (if equipped) and pull the  
liftgate down. If the tailgate  
doesn’t close due to a load, do  
not use the pull handle to tie the  
liftgate down.  
To lock the liftgate, use the power door locks, or the remote entry  
transmitter to lock the wagon.  
Do not leave the liftgate open while driving. Doing so could cause serious  
damage to the liftgate and its components as well as allowing carbon  
monoxide to enter the vehicle.  
Make sure that the liftgate door is closed to prevent exhaust  
fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also prevent  
passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the  
liftgate door open, keep the vents open so outside air comes into the  
vehicle.
