2014 FORD EDGE ECU

The LATCH anchors are located at
the rear section of the rear seat
between the cushion and seatback
below the symbols as shown.
Follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions to properly install a
child seat with LATCH attachments.
Follow the instructions on attaching child safety seats with tether straps.
SeeUsing Tether Strapsin this chapter.
Attach LATCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the anchors
shown.
Use of Inboard Lower Anchors from the Outboard Seating
Positions (Center Seating Use)
WARNING:The standardized spacing for LATCH lower anchors
is 11 inches (28 centimeters) center to center. Do not use
LATCH lower anchors for the center seating position unless the child
seat manufacturer’s instructions permit and specify using anchors
spaced at least as far apart as those in this vehicle.
The lower anchors at the center of the second row rear seat are spaced
18 inches (46 centimeters) apart. A child seat with rigid LATCH
attachments cannot be installed at the center seating position. LATCH
compatible child seats (with attachments on belt webbing) can only be
used at this seating position provided that the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions permit use with the anchor spacing stated. Do not attach a
child seat to any lower anchor if an adjacent child seat is attached to
that anchor.
Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly
attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor, if applicable. Tug the
child seat from side to side and forward and back where it is secured to
your vehicle. The seat should move less than one inch when you do this
for a proper installation.
If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a crash greatly increases.

Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with your vehicle still running to extend the run
time for another remote start duration. If the duration is set to last
10 minutes, the duration will extend by another 10 minutes beginning
after what is left of the first activation time. For example, if your vehicle
had been running from the first remote start for five minutes, your
vehicle will continue to run now for 15 additonal minutes.
Wait at least five seconds before remote starting after a vehicle
shutdown.
Turning the Vehicle Off After Remote Starting
Press the button once. The parking lamps will turn off.
You may have to be closer to your vehicle than when starting due to
ground reflection and the added noise of the running vehicle.
You can disable or enable the remote start system through the
information display. See theInformation Displaychapter.
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR REMOTE CONTROL
You can purchase replacement or additional keys or remote controls from
an authorized dealer. A dealer can program the transmitters to your

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 the reach of children. Do not allow
children to operate the power liftgate, or to play near to 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 reverse to full open position.
Make sure you close the liftgate before operating or moving the vehicle,
especially in an enclosure, like a garage or a parking structure. You could
damage the liftgate or its components.
Note:Do not drive with the liftgate open without first disabling the
power function and securing the liftgate to the vehicle.
Note:In case of operation in extreme cold -40°F (-40°C), or on extreme
inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested.
You can enable or disable the power liftgate using the information
display. The remote control and instrument panel button will still operate
the liftgate regardless of the setting.
Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate
Note:You can reverse the liftgate movement direction with a second
press of the instrument panel button or the button on the liftgate, or a
second double press of the transmitter button.
The liftgate will only operate with the vehicle inP.
Three tones will sound as the liftgate begins to power close. A single tone
indicates a problem with the close request, caused by any of the following:
•The ignition is on and the transmission is not inP
•The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage
•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 tone indicates excessive load on the gate or a possible strut
failure. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer if you still have
a fast tone after removing the load.
