Locks WARNING Keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear switch. When Opening The system stops when it detects an obstacle and two short tones sound. Remove the obstacle to operate the liftgate. Setting the Liftgate Open Height 1. Open the liftgate. 2. Manually move the liftgate to the desired height. 3. Press and hold the control button on the liftgate until you hear a chime, indicating programming is complete. Note: You cannot program the height if the liftgate position is too low. The system recalls the new open liftgate height when the power liftgate is opened. To change the programmed height, repeat the above procedure. Once you open the power liftgate, you can manually move it to a different height. When operating the power liftgate after you have programmed a lower height than full-open, you can fully open the liftgate by manually pushing it upward to the maximum open position. KEYLESS ENTRY (If Equipped) SECURICODE™ KEYLESS ENTRY KEYPAD The keypad is located near the driver window. It is invisible until touched and then it lights up so you can see and touch the appropriate buttons. Note: If you enter your entry code too fast on the keypad, the unlock function may not work. Re-enter your entry code more slowly. Obstacle Detection When Closing The system stops when it detects an obstacle and two short tones sound. Once you remove the obstacle, you can power close the liftgate. Note: Entering your vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause your vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, let the power liftgate close completely before you enter your vehicle. Before driving off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate or door ajar message or warning indicator. Failure to do this could result in unintentionally leaving the liftgate open while driving. E138637 You can use the keypad to: • lock or unlock the doors • program and erase user codes • arm and disarm the anti-theft alarm. 65 Escape (TM2), enUSA, First Printing
