Disable the liftgate power function in the information display. See the Information Displays chapter. 2. Open and close the liftgate as you would a standard liftgate. Obstacle Detection Note: Entering your vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause it to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, let the power liftgate fully close before entering the vehicle. The power liftgate system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature. If the power liftgate is closing, the system is designed to reverse to full open when it encounters a solid obstacle. A three second chime is also sounded when an obstacle is detected. Once the obstacle is removed, the liftgate can be closed under power. If the power liftgate is opening, the system is designed to stop when it encounters a solid obstacle. A chime will sound for three seconds while the obstacle is present. Resetting the Power Liftgate If any of these conditions occur, the power liftgate may not operate and must be reset: • A low voltage or dead battery • Disconnected battery • The liftgate is manually closed and left ajar (unlatched) To reset the power liftgate: 1. Disconnect the battery for 20 seconds then, reconnect the battery. 2. Manually close and fully latch the liftgate. 3. Power open the liftgate by using the remote entry transmitter or instrument panel button. Note: If the power liftgate system is turned off in the message center, the system cannot be activated with the outside release handle or rear cargo area control button. The system will need to be turned on to resume operation with the outside release handle or rear cargo area control button. The power liftgate is still operational through the use of the remote entry transmitter and instrument panel button when the power liftgate is turned off in the message center. 2013 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, April 2013 USA (fus)
