Locks 81 The new open liftgate height will now be recalled when the power liftgate is opened. To change the programmed height, repeat the above procedure. Once you open the power liftgate you can manually move it to a different height. When operating the power liftgate after a set height lower than full-open is set, you can fully open the liftgate by manually pushing it upward to the maximum open position. Obstacle Detection When closing: The system will reverse to full open when it detects an obstacle. A tone will sound three times as the liftgate begins to reopen. Remove the obstacle to close the liftgate. Note: Entering the vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause the vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, allow the power liftgate to fully close before entering the vehicle. Before driving off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate or door ajar message or warning indicator. Driving off without first checking for the liftgate or door ajar message or warning indicator could result in unintentionally leaving the liftgate open while you are driving. When opening: The system will stop and a tone will sound three times when it detects an obstacle. Remove the obstacle to operate the liftgate. Resetting the Power Liftgate The liftgate may not operate properly and you may need to reset it if any of these conditions occur: • A low voltage or dead battery • A disconnected battery • You manually close the liftgate and leave it ajar (unlatched) To reset the power liftgate: 1. Disconnect the battery for 20 seconds then, reconnect the battery. 2. Manually close and fully latch the liftgate. 3. Power open the liftgate by using the transmitter or the instrument panel control button. 2013 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide gf, 4th Printing, November 2012 USA (fus)
