door lock FORD ESCAPE 2013 3.G User Guide

Three warning chimes will sound once as
the liftgate begins to power close. Five
short chimes indicate a problem with the
open or close request, caused by:
•the ignition is on and the transmission
is not in P (Park);
• 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 falls to the closed direction
after the liftgate has stopped in the open
position, four short warning chimes
indicate excessive weight on the gate or a
possible gas strut failure. See your
authorized dealer if you still have the issue
after the load is removed.
Opening and Closing the Liftgate
WARNING
Make sure all persons are clear of the
power liftgate area before using the
power liftgate control.
Note: Be careful when opening or closing
the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed
area to avoid damaging the liftgate.

instrument panel button.
To open or close with the
remote control: Press the
remote control button twice
within three seconds.
To open or close using the hands-free
liftgate feature (if equipped):
1. Make sure you have an intelligent access transmitter within 3 feet (1
meter) of the liftgate.
2. Raise and lower your leg, moving yourfoot toward and under, then away
from, the rear bumper (similar to a
kicking motion).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 stops the power
operation.
Note: Splashing water may cause the
hands-free liftgate to open. Keep the
intelligent access transmitter away from the
rear bumper detection area while washing
your car.
To open with the outside liftgate

activating the rear switch.
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.

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM
Note:The system is not compatible with
non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems.
Use of these systems may result in vehicle
starting problems and a loss of security
protection.
Note: Metallic objects, electronic devices
or a second coded key on the same key
chain may cause vehicle starting problems
if they are too close to the key when starting
the engine. Prevent these objects from
touching the coded key while starting the
engine. Switch the ignition off, move all
objects on the key chain away from the
coded key and restart the engine if a
problem occurs.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key
in the vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
SecuriLock®
The system is an engine immobilization
system. It is designed to help prevent the
engine from being started unless a coded
key programmed to your vehicle is used.
Using the wrong key may prevent the
engine from starting. A message may
appear in the information display.
If you are unable to start the engine with a
correctly coded key, a malfunction has
happened and a message may appear in
the information display.
Automatic Arming
The vehicle is armed immediately after
switching the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Switching the ignition on with a coded key
disarms the vehicle. Replacement Keys
Note:
Your vehicle comes equipped with
two integrated keyhead transmitters or two
intelligent access keys.
The integrated keyhead transmitter
functions as a programmed ignition key
that operates all the locks and starts the
vehicle, as well as a remote control.
The intelligent access key functions as a
programmed key that operates the driver's
door lock and activates the intelligent
access with push button start systems, as
well as a remote control.
If your programmed transmitters or
standard SecuriLock coded keys
(integrated keyhead transmitters only) are
lost or stolen and you don ’t have an extra
coded key, you will need to have your
vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The
key codes need to be erased from your
vehicle and new coded keys will need to
be programmed.
Store an extra programmed key away from
the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent
any inconveniences. See your authorized
dealer to purchase additional spare or
replacement keys.
Programming a Spare Integrated
Keyhead Transmitter
Note: A maximum of eight coded keys can
be programmed to your vehicle. All eight
can be integrated keyhead transmitters.
You can program your own integrated
keyhead transmitter or standard
SecuriLock coded keys to your vehicle. This
procedure will program both the engine
immobilizer keycode and the remote entry
portion of the remote control to your
vehicle
Only use integrated keyhead transmitters
or standard SecuriLock keys.
62
Security

You must have two previously
programmed coded keys and the new
unprogrammed key readily accessible. See

1.Insert the first previously programmed
coded key into the ignition.
2. Switch the ignition from off to on. Keep
the ignition on for at least three
seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.

insert the second previously coded key
into the ignition.
5. Switch the ignition from off to on. Keep
the ignition on for at least three
seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
6. Switch the ignition off and remove the
second previously programmed coded
key from the ignition.

and removing the previously
programmed coded key, insert the new
unprogrammed key into the ignition.
8. Switch the ignition from off to on. Keep
the ignition on for at least six seconds.
9. Remove the newly programmed coded
key from the ignition.
If the key has been successfully
programmed it will start the engine and
operate the remote entry system (if the
new key is an integrated keyhead
transmitter).
If it was not programmed successfully,
wait 10 seconds and repeat Steps 1 through
8. If you are still unsuccessful, take your
vehicle to your authorized dealer. Programming a Spare Intelligent
Access Key
