Driver Controls To open the liftgate from the Instrument panel: Press the button once to open the liftgate, press it again to close. To open the liftgate with the remote entry transmitter: Refer to Remote entry system in the Locks and Security chapter. To open the liftgate with outside liftgate control button (manual actuation): 1. Unlock the liftgate with the remote entry transmitter or power door unlock control. 2. Press the control button located in the top of the liftgate pull cup handle. Note: For the best performance allow the power system to open the liftgate after releasing the control button. Continued upward force after unlatching may activate the obstacle detection feature and stop the power operation. Note: If weight is added to the gate (bike rack, snow, etc.) the gate may automatically start a power close event immediately after a power open. In this mode a unique continuous chime will sound. To close the liftgate with the rear cargo area control button: Press and release the control on the left rear quarter panel to close the liftgate. The chime will beep once if conditions are not correct to start an operation (i.e., the vehicle is out of park). In a normal close, the chime will begin just before the gate starts to move and continue for total of three seconds. Press and release the control to open or reverse the liftgate. Rear cargo area control button will not open the liftgate when the liftgate is latched. 155 2010 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
