When power operating the liftgate at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the liftgate may stop about 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the full open position. The liftgate can be fully opened by pushing it upward to the maximum open position. The power liftgate feature can be enabled or disabled using the message center controls. With the setting turned off, power operation is disabled from the liftgate handle button and from the rear cargo area button. The transmitter and instrument panel switch will still continue to operate the liftgate regardless of the position state of the message center. Refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter. To power open or close the liftgate from the instrument panel: Press the button, located to the left of the steering column, once to power open or close the liftgate. To power open or close the liftgate with the transmitter: Press twice within three seconds to open the liftgate. Refer to Remote entry system in the Locks and Security chapter. To power open the liftgate with outside liftgate control button: 1. Unlock the liftgate with the transmitter or power door unlock control. If the intelligent access transmitter (if equipped) is within 3 feet (1 meter) of the liftgate, the liftgate will unlock when you press the liftgate release button. 2. To open the liftgate, press the control button located in the top of the liftgate pull-cup handle. Note: For the best performance allow the power system to open the liftgate after pressing the control. Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may activate the system's obstacle detection feature and stops the power operation. 108 2012 Edge (edg) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
