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. POWER LIFTGATE You can power open or close the liftgate with the following controls: • Instrument panel control button • Transmitter button • Outside liftgate control button • Control button in the rear cargo area Opening and closing the power liftgate: WARNING: Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate area before using the power liftgate control. WARNING: Keep keys out of reach of children. Do not allow children to play near an open or moving power liftgate. The liftgate will only operate with the vehicle in P (Park). When the liftgate is being power closed, a chime will sound three times as the liftgate begins to power close. A single chime indicates a problem with the close request, caused by: • the ignition is on and the transmission is not in P (Park); • or the battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage; • or the vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h). If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after an open request, a fast continuous chime indicates excessive load on the gate or a possible strut failure. If any excessive load is removed and you still have a faster chime, have the system serviced immediately by your authorized dealer. Do not attempt to manually force the liftgate to travel faster than the power system will permit. This will activate the obstacle detection feature. 86 2012 MKX (mkx) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
