Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may activate the system's obstacle detection feature and stops the power operation. To close with the rear cargo area control: Press and release the button located in the rear cargo area. WARNING: Keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear switch. Obstacle Detection When closing: The liftgate will reverse to full open when it detects an obstacle. A chime will sound three times as the liftgate begins to reopen. Remove the obstacle to close the liftgate. Note: Entering your vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause your vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, let the power liftgate close completely before you enter your vehicle. Before driving off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate or door ajar message or warning indicator. Failure to do this could result in unintentionally leaving the liftgate open while driving. When opening: The system stops when it detects an obstacle and a tone will sound three times. Remove the obstacle to operate the liftgate. 2014 Edge (edg) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, November 2013 USA (fus)
