Driver Controls Warning, keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear switch. Note: The liftgate movement direction can be reversed with a second press of the instrument panel, or the rear cargo area control button, or a second double press of the integrated keyhead transmitter button. To power open the liftgate with outside liftgate control button: 1. To open, unlock the liftgate with the integrated keyhead transmitter or power door unlock control. 2. Push the control button located above the liftgate outside handle to unlatch and power open the liftgate. Note: For the best performance allow the power system to open the liftgate after pushing the control. Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may activate the system's obstacle detection feature and stop the power system. To manually operate the liftgate: 1. Disable the liftgate power function. Refer to the Message Center in this chapter. 2. Open and close the liftgate as you would a standard liftgate. Refer to the Manual liftgate in this chapter. Note: In case of operation in extreme cold -40° F (-40° C), or on extreme inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested. Obstacle detection The power liftgate system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature. If the power liftgate is closing, the system will reverse to full open when it detects an obstacle. A chime will sound 3 times when an obstacle is detected as the liftgate begins to reopen. Once the obstacle is removed, the liftgate can be closed under power. If the power liftgate is opening, the system will stop and a chime will sound 3 times when an obstacle is detected. Once the obstacle is removed, the liftgate can again be operated normally. 105 2007 MKX (mkx) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
