Driver Controls WARNING (Continued) • Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or attachment instructions can potentially cause interference with pedal operation causing loss of control of vehicle. • To install floor mats, position the floor mat so that the eyelet is over the retention post and press down to lock in. • To remove the floor mat, reverse the installation procedure. MANUAL LIFTGATE (IF EQUIPPED) The liftgate area is only intended for cargo, not passengers. To open the liftgate, press the button located in the top of the liftgate pull cup handle to unlatch the liftgate, then pull on the outside handle. • Exercise care when opening or closing the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed area. The liftgate could be damaged against a garage door, low ceiling or wall. • Do not hang anything (bike rack, etc.) from the spoiler/glass or liftgate. Doing so could cause serious damage to the liftgate and its components. • 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 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 vehicle well ventilated so outside air comes into the vehicle. Liftgate ajar signal If the liftgate is not fully latched, you will receive a "LIFTGATE AJAR" message on the instrument panel. If you see this message, check the liftgate door to ensure it is fully latched. 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. 106 2012 Edge (edg) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
