FORD 2010 Expedition v.2 - Manual (Page 158)

Note: In case of operation in extreme cold -40°F (-40°C), or on extreme
inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested.
Obstacle detection
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 IP button when the power liftgate is
turned off in the message center.
Liftgate ajar signal
If the liftgate or liftgate glass are not fully latched, you will receive a
message on the instrument panel. If you see this message, check both
the liftgate glass and liftgate door to ensure they are fully latched.
WARNING: Make sure the liftgate is closed to prevent exhaust
fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. If you must drive with
the liftgate open, keep the vents open so outside air comes into the
vehicle.
