FORD 2013 C-MAX Hybrid v.2 - Manual (Page 78)

Power Liftgate (If Equipped)
WARNING: Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate
area before using the power liftgate control.
WARNING: Keep keys out of reach of children. Do not allow
children to play near an open or moving power liftgate.
Note: Cycling the ignition while the liftgate is power closing and is near
the latch may cause the liftgate to stop operation. Make sure that the
liftgate is closed before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an
enclosure, like a garage or a parking structure. The liftgate or its
components could be damaged.
Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate
Note: The doors must be unlocked to operate the power liftgate.
Note: The liftgate movement direction can be stopped with a second
press of the instrument panel, or the control button on the liftgate, a
second double press of the transmitter button, or by using a kicking
motion with your foot for hands-free liftgates.
If the engine is running, the liftgate will only operate with the vehicle in P.
A chime sequence will sound as the liftgate begins to power close.
Another chime sequence indicates a problem with the close request,
caused by:
• the ignition is on and the transmission is not in P, or
• the battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage, or
• the vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h).
If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after an open request, four
short warning chimes indicate excessive load on the gate or a possible
strut failure. See your authorized dealer if you still have a fast chime
after the load is removed.
To open or close from the instrument panel: Press the
instrument panel button.
Note: The doors must be unlocked.
To open or close with the remote control: Press the remote
control button twice within three seconds.
