To change the programmed height, repeat the above procedure. Once you open the power liftgate, you can manually move it to a different height. Note: The system recalls the new programmed height, even if you disconnect the battery. When operating the power liftgate after you have programmed a lower height than fully open, you can fully open the liftgate by manually pushing it upward to the maximum open position. Obstacle Detection When Closing The system stops when it detects an obstacle. Two short tones sound and the system reverses to open. When you remove the obstacle, you can power close the liftgate. Note: Entering your vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause your vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, let the power liftgate close completely before you enter your vehicle. Before driving off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate or door ajar message or warning indicator. Failure to do this could result in unintentionally leaving the liftgate open while driving. 66 Escape (TM2) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Second Printing E16160221Locks 2.

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 arms immediately after you switch 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 door lock and activates the intelligent access with push button start system, 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 do not have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. You need to erase the key codes from your vehicle and program new coded keys. 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: You can program a maximum of eight coded keys 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. 69 Escape (TM2) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Second Printing Security You must have two previously programmed coded keys and the new unprogrammed key readily accessible. See your authorized dealer to have the spare key programmed if two previously programmed coded keys are not available. Read and understand the entire procedure before you begin. 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. 3. Switch the ignition off and remove the first coded key from the ignition. 4. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of switching the ignition off, 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. 7.

If that does not resolve the issue, install new wiper blades. Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry windshield. This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper motor to burn out. Always use the windshield washers before wiping a dry windshield. Single wipe Intermittent wipe Normal wipe High speed wipe Intermittent Wipe Short wipe interval Intermittent wipe Long wipe interval Use the rotary control to adjust the intermittent wipe interval. Speed dependent wipers (if equipped) When your vehicle speed increases, the interval between wipes will decrease. AUTOWIPERS (If Equipped) Note: Fully defrost the windshield before switching on the windshield wipers. Note: Make sure you switch off the windshield wipers before entering a car wash.

The rain sensor is very sensitive. Dirt or debris around the interior rear view mirror area will affect the autowipers' performance. For example, the autowipers may turn on if dirt, mist or insects hit the windshield. WINDSHIELD WASHERS Note: Do not operate the washers when the washer reservoir is empty. This may cause the washer pump to overheat. To operate the washers and spray the windshield, pull the lever toward you. When you release the lever, the wipers will operate for a short time. Note: During wet or winter driving conditions with ice, snow or a salty road mist, inconsistent or unexpected wiping or smearing may occur. In these conditions, you can do the following: • Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers to reduce the amount of smearing. Switch to normal or high-speed wipe. Switch the autowipers off. • • High sensitivity On Low sensitivity The autowipers feature uses a rain sensor that is located in the area around the interior rear view mirror. The rain sensor monitors the amount of moisture on the windshield and automatically turns the wipers on. It will adjust the wiper speed by the amount of moisture that the sensor detects on the windshield. Use the rotary control to adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor. Set the control to low sensitivity, and the wipers will turn on when the rain sensor detects a large amount of moisture on the windshield. Set the control to high sensitivity, and the wipers will turn on when the rain sensor detects a small amount of moisture on the windshield. 75 Escape (TM2) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Second Printing E168041E168042Wipers and Washers REAR WINDOW WIPER AND WASHERS Rear Window Wiper Rear Window Washer To use the rear washer function, push the lever away from you.
