Opening And Closing The Liftgate - Lincoln 2015 MKC Owner's Manual

If the liftgate falls after the liftgate has
stopped in the open position, you may hear
four short warning tones. This indicates
excessive weight on the gate or a possible
gas strut failure. Have an authorized dealer
check the system if you still have the issue
after you remove the load.

rear bumper similar to a kicking motion.
Do not move your foot sideways or the
sensors may not detect the motion. For
vehicles equipped with both the

your foot under the bumper between the
trailer hitch and the exhaust.
2. The liftgate will power open or close.
Note: Allow the power system to open the
liftgate. Manually pushing or pulling the
liftgate may activate the system's obstacle
detection feature and stop or reverse the
power operation.
