Locks 77 Note: Cycling the ignition while the liftgate is power closing and is near the latch may cause the liftgate to reverse to full open position. Make sure you close the liftgate before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure, like a garage or a parking structure. You could damage the liftgate or its components. Note: Do not drive with the liftgate open without first disabling the power function and securing the liftgate to the vehicle. Note: In case of operation in extreme cold -40°F (-40°C), or on extreme inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested. You can enable or disable the power liftgate using the information display. The remote control and instrument panel button will still operate the liftgate regardless of the setting. Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate Note: You can reverse the liftgate movement direction with a second press of the instrument panel button or the button on the liftgate, or a second double press of the transmitter button. The liftgate will only operate with the vehicle in P. Three tones will sound as the liftgate begins to power close. A single tone indicates a problem with the close request, caused by any of the following: • The ignition is on and the transmission is not in P • The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage • The vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h) If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after an open request, a fast continuous tone indicates excessive load on the gate or a possible strut failure. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer if you still have a fast tone after removing the load. To open or close from the instrument panel: Press the instrument panel button. To open or close with the remote control: Press the remote control button twice within three seconds. 2013 Edge (edg) Owners Guide gf, 4th Printing, November 2012 USA (fus)
