Locks 73 Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate Note: The liftgate can be reversed with a second press on a control button or transmitter and can be manually closed at any time. The liftgate will only operate with your vehicle in P. The chime will beep once if conditions are not correct to start an operation. These conditions include: • The ignition is in 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 a open request, a fast continuous chime indicates excessive load on the liftgate or a possible strut failure. If any excessive load is removed and you still have a faster chime, have the system serviced immediately by your authorized dealer. Do not attempt to manually force the liftgate to travel faster than the power system will permit. This will activate the obstacle detection feature. 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. To open with the outside liftgate button (manual actuation): 1. Unlock the liftgate with the remote entry transmitter or power door unlock control. 2. Press the control button located on the inside of the liftgate handle. Note: Let the power system 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 liftgate (bike rack, snow, etc.) it may start a power close event immediately after a power open. If this happens, a unique continuous chime will sound. 2014 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, June 2013 USA (fus)
