Driver Controls 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. To open the liftgate, press the control button located on the inside of the liftgate handle to unlatch the liftgate, then pull on the handle to access the cargo area. • Do not open the liftgate or liftgate glass in a garage or other enclosed area with a low ceiling. If the liftgate glass is raised and the liftgate is also opened, both liftgate and glass could be damaged against a low ceiling. • Do not leave the liftgate or liftgate glass 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 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. CARGO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) The cargo management system consists of a storage compartment located in the floor of the rear cargo area. 1. To open, lift up on the handle and cover. 2. To close, lower the cover and press down on the handle until the latch clicks. 111 2011 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
