Keyless Entry - Ford Escape Owner's Manual

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 a chime is heard,
indicating the new height has been
programmed.
Note: The height cannot be programmed
if the liftgate position is too low.
The new open liftgate height will now be
recalled when the power liftgate is opened.
To change the programmed height, repeat
the above procedure. Once the power
liftgate is opened it can be manually
moved to a different height.
When operating the power liftgate after a
lower height than full-open has been
programmed, the liftgate can be fully
opened by manually pushing it upward to
the maximum open position.
Obstacle Detection
When closing: The system will stop when
it detects an obstacle and two short
chimes will sound. Once the obstacle is
removed the liftgate can be closed under
power.
Note: Entering the vehicle while the liftgate
is closing can cause the vehicle to bounce
and activate obstacle detection. To prevent
this, allow the power liftgate to fully close
before entering the vehicle. Before driving
off, check the instrument cluster for a
liftgate or door ajar message or warning
indicator. Driving off without first checking
for the liftgate or door ajar message or
warning indicator could result in the liftgate
being left open, unintentionally, while you
are driving.
When opening: The system will stop and
two short chimes will sound when it
detects an obstacle. Remove the obstacle
to operate the liftgate.
