Driver Controls Liftgate ajar signal If the liftgate or liftgate glass are not fully latched, you will receive a "LIFTGATE or LIFTGLASS AJAR" message on the instrument panel. If you see this message, check both the liftgate glass and liftgate door to ensure they are fully latched. WARNING: Make sure the liftgate is closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. If you must drive with the liftgate open, keep the vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle. Liftgate window To open the liftgate window, push the button on the left side of the liftgate above the license plate. MANUAL LIFTGATE (IF EQUIPPED) The liftgate area is only intended for cargo, not passengers. You can open and close the liftgate from outside the vehicle. The liftgate cannot be opened from the cargo area control button, only closed. Note: In the event of a power failure, the latch can be accessed and released from the inside using the access panel on the liftgate trim. 158 2009 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
