Driver Controls Liftgate ajar signal If the liftgate or liftgate glass are not fully latched, you will receive a message on the instrument panel. If you see this message, check both the liftgate glass and liftgate door to ensure they are fully latched. WARNING: Make sure the liftgate is closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. If you must drive with the liftgate open, keep the vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle. Liftgate window To open the liftgate window, press the button on the left side of the liftgate above the license plate. 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. The liftgate cannot be opened from the cargo area control button, only closed. Note: In the event of a power failure, the latch can be accessed and released from the inside using the access panel on the liftgate trim. To open the liftgate, press the control button located on the inside of the liftgate handle to unlatch the liftgate, then pull on the handle to access the cargo area. • Do not open the liftgate or liftgate glass in a garage or other enclosed area with a low ceiling. If the liftgate glass is raised and the liftgate is also opened, both liftgate and glass could be damaged against a low ceiling. 157 2010 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
