FORD 2007 Expedition v.2 - Manual (Page 139)

To close the liftgate with the
rear cargo area control button:
Press and release the control on the
left rear quarter panel to close the
liftgate. The chime will beep once if
conditions are not correct to start
an operation (i.e., the vehicle is out
of park). In a normal close, the
chime will begin just before the gate
starts to move and continue for total
of three seconds.
Press and release the control to open or reverse the liftgate.
Rear cargo area control button will not open the liftgate when the
liftgate is latched.
Warning, keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear
switch.
To manually operate the liftgate:
1. Disable the liftgate power function, refer to the Message Center in
this chapter.
2. Open and close the liftgate as you would a standard liftgate.
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 continuously sound while the
obstacle is present.
Resetting the power liftgate:
The power liftgate may not operate under these conditions. If any of
these conditions occur, the power liftgate must be reset.
