Driver Controls POSITIVE RETENTION FLOOR MAT (IF EQUIPPED) Do not install additional floor mats on top of the factory installed floor mats as they may interfere with the accelerator or the brake pedals. To install floor mats that have a retention post: Position the floor mat so that the eyelet is over the pointed end of the retention post and rotate forward to lock in. Make sure that the mat does not interfere with the operation of the accelerator or the brake pedal. To remove the floor mat, reverse the installation procedure. MANUAL LIFTGATE (IF EQUIPPED) 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. Note: In the event of a power failure, the latch can be accessed and released through the access panel in the liftgate trim. To open, push the control button located above the liftgate outside handle to unlatch the liftgate, then pull on the outside handle to access the cargo area. • Exercise care when opening or closing the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed area. The liftgate could be damaged against a garage door, low ceiling or wall. • Do not hang anything (bike rack, etc.) from the spoiler/glass or liftgate. Doing so could cause serious damage to the liftgate and its components. • 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. 120 2008 Edge (edg) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
