MULTI-FUNCTION LEVER

Windshield wiper: Rotate the end

of the control away from you to

increase the speed of the wipers;

rotate towards you to decrease the

speed of the wipers.

Speed dependent wipers: When

the wiper control is on, the speed of

the wipers will automatically adjust

with the vehicle speed. The faster your vehicle is travelling the faster the

wipers will go.

Windshield washer: Press the end

of the stalk:

• briefly: causes a single swipe of

the wipers without washer fluid.

• a quick press and hold: the

wipers will swipe three times with

washer fluid.

up to ten seconds.

Courtesy wipe feature: One extra wipe will occur a few seconds after

washing the front window to clear any excess washer fluid remaining on

the windshield.

Note: Do not operate the washer when the washer reservoir is empty.

This may cause the washer pump to overheat. Check the washer fluid

level frequently. Do not operate the wipers when the windshield is dry.

This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and cause the wiper

motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield,

always use the windshield washer. In freezing weather, be sure the wiper

blades are not frozen to the windshield before operating the wipers.

Windshield wiper rainlamp feature (if equipped with Autolamp)

When the windshield wipers are turned on during daylight, and the

headlamp control is in the autolamp position, the exterior lamps will turn

on after a brief delay and will remain on until the wipers are turned off.

HomeLink姞 Wireless Control System (if equipped)

The HomeLink威 Wireless Control

System, located on the driver’s visor,

provides a convenient way to

replace up to three hand-held

transmitters with a single built-in

device. This feature will learn the

radio frequency codes of most

transmitters to operate garage

doors, entry gate operators, security systems, entry door locks, and

home or office lighting.

WARNING: When programming your HomeLink威 Wireless

Car2U姞 Home Automation System (if equipped)

The Car2U威 Home Automation

System is a universal transmitter

located in the driver’s visor that

includes two primary features – a

garage door opener and a platform

for remote activation of devices

within the home. The Car2U威

system’s garage door opener

function replaces the common

hand-held garage door opener with a three-button transmitter that is

integrated into the interior of your vehicle. After being programmed for

garage doors, the Car2U威 system transmitter can be programmed to

operate security devices and home lighting systems.

WARNING: Make sure that people and objects are clear of the

garage door or security device you are programming. Do not

program the Car2U威 system with the vehicle in the garage.

Do not use the Car2U威 system with any garage door opener that lacks

safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. Federal Safety

Standards (this includes any garage door opener manufactured before

April 1, 1982).

Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other

vehicles as well as for future Car2U威 system programming. It is also

recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the

programmed Car2U威 system buttons should be erased for security

reasons. Refer to Erasing the Car2U威 Home Automation System

buttons later in this section.

Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the

Car2U威 system. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have

another person assist you in programming the transmitter.

Additional Car2U威 system information can be found on-line at

www. or by calling the toll-free Car2U威 system help line at

1-866-572-2728.

Types of garage door openers (rolling code and fixed code)

The Car2U威 Home Automation System may be programmed to operate

rolling code and fixed code garage door openers.

• Rolling code garage door openers were produced after 1996 and are

code protected. Rolling code means the coded signal is changed every

time your remote control garage door opener is used.

Driver Controls

2010 Edge (edg)

Owners Guide, 3rd Printing

USA (fus)

• Fixed code garage door openers were produced prior to 1996. Fixed

code uses the same coded signal every time. It is manually

programmed by setting DIP switches for a unique personal code.

If you do not know if your garage

door opener is a rolling code or

fixed code device, open your garage

door opener’s remote control battery

cover. If a panel of DIP switches is

present your garage door opener is

a fixed code device. If not, your

garage door opener is a rolling code

device.

Rolling code programming

Note: Programming the rolling code garage door opener involves

time-sensitive actions. Read the entire procedure prior to beginning so

you will know which actions are time-sensitive. If you do not follow the

time-sensitive actions, the device will time out and you will have to

repeat the procedure.

Note: Do not program the Car2U威 system with the vehicle in the garage.

Make sure that your key is on and engine off while programming the

transmitter.

1. Firmly press the two outer

Car2U威 system buttons for

1–2 seconds, then release.

2. Go to the garage to locate the

garage door opener motor and its

“learn” button. You may need a

ladder to reach the unit and you

may need to remove the unit’s cover

or light lens to locate the “learn”

button. Press the “learn” button,

after which you will have

10–30 seconds to return to your

vehicle and complete the following

steps. If you cannot locate the

“learn” button, refer to the Owner’s Guide of your garage door opener or

call the toll-free Car2U威 system help line at 1-866-57Car2U

(1-866-572-2728).

3. Return to your vehicle. Press and

hold the Car2U威 system button you

would like to use to control the

garage door. You may need to hold

the button from 5–20 seconds,

during which time the selected

button indicator light will blink

slowly. Immediately (within

1 second) release the button once the garage door moves. When the

button is released, the indicator light will begin to blink rapidly until

programming is complete.

4. Press and release the button again. The garage door should move,

confirming that programming is successful. If your garage door does not

operate, repeat the previous steps in this section.

After successful programming, you will be able to operate your Car2U威

system by pressing the button you programmed to activate the opener.

The indicator light above the selected button will turn on to confirm that

the Car2U威 system is responding to the button command.

To program another rolling code device such as an additional garage door

opener, a security device or home lighting, repeat Steps 1 through 4

substituting a different function button in Step 3 than what you used for

the garage door opener. For example, you could assign the left-most

button to the garage door, the center button to a security device, and

the right-most button to another garage door opener.

MANUAL LIFTGATE (IF EQUIPPED)

The liftgate area is only intended for cargo, not passengers.

To open the liftgate, press the

button located in the top of the

liftgate pull cup handle to unlatch

the liftgate, then pull on the outside

handle.

• Exercise care when opening or

closing the liftgate in a garage or

other enclosed area. The liftgate

could be damaged against a

garage door, low ceiling or wall.

• Do not hang anything (bike rack, etc.) from the spoiler/glass or

liftgate. Doing so could cause serious damage to the liftgate and its

components.

Driver Controls

2010 Edge (edg)

Owners Guide, 3rd Printing

USA (fus)

• Do not leave the liftgate open while driving. Doing so could cause

serious damage to the liftgate and its components as well as allowing

carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle.

WARNING: Make sure that the liftgate is closed to prevent

exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also

prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with

the liftgate door open, keep the vehicle well ventilated so outside air

comes into the vehicle.

Liftgate ajar signal

If the liftgate is not fully latched, you will receive a “LIFTGATE AJAR”

message on the instrument panel. If you see this message, check the

liftgate door to ensure it is fully latched.

Note: In the event of a power failure, the latch can be accessed and

released from the inside using the access panel on the liftgate trim.

POWER LIFTGATE (IF EQUIPPED)

You can power open or close the liftgate with the following controls:

• Instrument panel control button

• Integrated keyhead transmitter button

• Outside liftgate control button

• Control button in the rear cargo area

Opening and Closing the power liftgate:

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.

The liftgate will only operate with the vehicle in P (Park).

When the liftgate is being power closed, a chime will sound three times

as the liftgate begins to power close. A single chime indicates a problem

with the close request, caused by:

• the ignition is in on and the transmission is not in P (Park);

• or the battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage;

Driver Controls

2010 Edge (edg)

Owners Guide, 3rd Printing

USA (fus)

• 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, a fast

continuous chime indicates excessive load on the gate or a possible strut

failure. If any excessive load is removed and you still have a faster

chime, have the system serviced immediately by your authorized dealer.

Do not attempt to manually force the liftgate to travel faster than the

power system will permit. This will activate the obstacle detection

feature.

Note: Cycling the ignition prior to completely latching the liftgate could

result in damage to the liftgate and/or its power components. Make sure

the liftgate is fully latched before operating the vehicle.

Care should be exercised in starting the engine before the liftgate is fully

closed (latched). If the ignition is cycled during a liftgate power close

cycle and the liftgate is 6-10 inches (15–24 cm) from being latched, the

liftgate may reverse to the full open position. Verify that the gate is

closed before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure,

like a garage or a parking structure. The liftgate or it components could

be damaged in an enclosure, if the liftgate is open.

When power operating the liftgate at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the

liftgate may stop about 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the full open position.

The liftgate can be fully opened by pushing it upward to the maximum

open position.

The power liftgate feature can be enabled or disabled using the message

center controls. With the setting turned off, power operation is disabled

from the liftgate handle button and from the rear cargo area button. The

integrated keyhead transmitter and instrument panel switch will still

continue to operate the liftgate regardless of the position state of the

message center. Refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster

chapter.

second double press of the integrated keyhead transmitter button.

To manually operate the liftgate:

1. Disable the liftgate power function. Refer to the Message center in the

Instrument Cluster chapter.

2. Open and close the liftgate as you would a standard liftgate. Refer to

Manual liftgate in this chapter.

Note: In case of operation in extreme cold -40°F (-40°C), or on extreme

inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested.

Obstacle detection

The power liftgate system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature.

If the power liftgate is closing, the system will reverse to full open when

it detects an obstacle. A chime will sound three times when an obstacle

is detected as the liftgate begins to reopen. Once the obstacle is

removed, the liftgate can be closed under power.

If the power liftgate is opening, the system will stop and a chime will

sound three times when an obstacle is detected. Once the obstacle is

removed, the liftgate can again be operated normally.

Resetting the power liftgate:

The power liftgate may not operate properly and may need to be reset if

any of these conditions occur:

• a low voltage or dead battery

• disconnected battery

• the liftgate is manually closed and left ajar (unlatched)

To reset the power liftgate:

1. Disconnect the battery for 20 seconds then, reconnect the battery.

2. Manually close and fully latch the liftgate.

3. Power open the liftgate by using the integrated keyhead transmitter,

or the instrument panel control button.

Note: If the power liftgate system is turned off in the message center,

the system cannot be activated with the outside release handle or rear

cargo area control button. The system will need to be turned on to

resume operation with the outside release handle or rear cargo area

control button. The power liftgate is still operational through the use of

the remote entry transmitter and instrument panel button when the

power liftgate is turned off in the message center.

Utility hook

The utility hook can be used to

hang small items such as grocery

bags, etc. Do not hang more than

10 lb (4.5 kg) on the hook.

ROOF RACK SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

Loads should never be placed directly on the roof panel. For proper

function of the roof rack system, loads must be placed directly on

crossbars affixed to the roof rack side rails. Your vehicle may be

equipped with factory-installed crossbars. Ford Genuine Accessory

crossbars, designed specifically for your vehicle, are also recommended

for use with your roof rack system.

The vehicle’s roof panel is NOT designed to directly carry a load. The

maximum recommended load is 100 lb (45 kg), evenly distributed

on the crossbars. Ensure that the load is securely fastened.

WARNING: When loading the roof rail crossbars, it is

recommended to evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a

low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with higher centers of gravity,

may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such

as slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken

when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.

When the rail system is loaded, check the tightness of the load before

driving and at each fuel stop.
