FORD 2014 Expedition v.1 - Manual (Page 74)

Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate
Note: The liftgate can be reversed with a second press on a control
button or transmitter and can be manually closed at any time.
The liftgate will only operate with your vehicle in P. The chime will beep
once if conditions are not correct to start an operation. These conditions
include:
• The ignition is in on and the transmission is not in P.
• The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage.
• The vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h).
If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after a open request, a fast
continuous chime indicates excessive load on the liftgate 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.
To open or close from the instrument panel:
Press the instrument panel button.
To open or close with the remote control:
Press the remote control button twice within three seconds.
To open with the outside liftgate
button (manual actuation):
1. Unlock the liftgate with the
remote entry transmitter or power
door unlock control.
2. Press the control button located
on the inside of the liftgate handle.
Note: Let the power system open the liftgate after releasing the control
button. Continued upward force after unlatching may activate the
obstacle detection feature and stop the power operation.
Note: If weight is added to the liftgate (bike rack, snow, etc.) it may
start a power close event immediately after a power open. If this
happens, a unique continuous chime will sound.
