How do you open a 2010 Ford Escape lift gate?

To open the liftgate of a 2010 Ford Escape, first ensure the vehicle is unlocked. You can either press the liftgate release button on the key fob or use the release button located on the liftgate itself. If the vehicle is equipped with a manual liftgate, simply lift it up once it's released. Ensure you support the liftgate while it opens, as it may have some weight to it.
