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. To open the liftgate, push the control button located in the top of the liftgate pull cup handle to unlatch the liftgate, then pull on the outside handle to access the cargo area. • Do not open the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed area with a low ceiling. If the liftgate is opened, the liftgate could be damaged against a low ceiling. • Do not leave the liftgate open while driving. Doing so could cause serious damage to the liftgate and its components as well as allowing carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle. WARNING: Make sure that the liftgate door is closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the liftgate door open, keep the vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle. 125 2009 Flex (471) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
