Driver Controls LIFTGATE The liftgate area is only intended for cargo, not passengers. You can open and close the liftgate from outside the vehicle. It cannot be opened from inside the cargo area. Unlock the liftgate (but do not release it) with the power door lock system and remote entry transmitter. To open the liftgate, push the control button and pull the liftgate rearward. Note: Do not hang anything (bike rack, etc.) from the spoiler/glass. Doing so could cause serious damage to the liftgate and its components. • Do not open the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed area with a low ceiling. If the liftgate is opened, the liftgate could be damaged against a low ceiling. • 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. 108 2007 Edge (edg) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
