Windows and Mirrors

 

GLOBAL OPENING AND CLOSING

 

You can use the remote control to operate the windows with the ignition off.

 

Note: You can enable or disable this feature in the information display or see an authorized dealer. See General Information.

 

Note: To operate this feature, accessory delay must not be active.

 

Opening the Windows

You can only open the windows for a short time after you unlock your vehicle with the remote control. After you unlock your vehicle, press and hold the remote control unlock button to open the windows and vent the moonroof. Release the button once movement starts. Press the lock or unlock button to stop movement.

 

Closing the Windows

 

WARNING

When closing the windows and moonroof, you should verify they are free of obstructions and make sure that children and pets are not in the proximity of the window openings.

 

To close the windows and moonroof, press and hold the remote control lock button. Release the button once movement starts. Press the lock or unlock button to stop movement.

I've set off the alarm with the fob in my pocket before, but that only requires a single press and hold.  I was actually working on my truck when the car alarm went off. :)  I was on my creeper working on changing the oxygen sensors when I must've pushed the fob against my leg or a key against the creeper.  I wish the keys in most fobs were more recessed or possibly more difficult to press (more firm) to keep things like that from happening.  I had to replace the shells for my truck fobs and the new shells have protruding buttons which I really dislike where my originals were recessed and a lot smaller.

You had to have pressed and held your unlock button either on the way in to the building, or on your way out to the car.

 

For a 2013, in the left instrument cluster screen, it's Settings -> vehicle -> windows -> remote open -> on or off.  Set this to off and you won't have this problem again.  I've done it once (fortunately it was in my garage), so I turned that feature off.  I did leave the remote close turned on so I can still remotely roll up the windows if I need to.

We just had this problem yesterday on our 2015 Ford Fusion SE Hybrid.   Came out to the car and all the windows were rolled down....who knows for how long?   Problem is that it rained a ton during this time and now the inside of the car is wet.     Next battle is to prevent a mildew odor.   We didn't know if some signal went to the car (not from the fobber), to activate the windows.

Glad someone already posted this subject because we were thinking it was a ghost or something!   LOL

I had a similar problem.  Came out from work to find all windows down and car unlocked.  Called dealership.  there is no way I hit the key fob by accident.  The key was locked in a desk and untouched.  They had no answers.  Anyone else having this happen?

Yes, found both front windows of my Edge ST fully down and doors unlocked.  I did not leave it that way.  Fob was sitting unmolested all by itself.

I've had this happen several times on my 2013 Fusion over the years, never a big deal until last week when I headed out to work after a night of heavy rain to find all the windows down and the car's interior soaked.  I went ahead and disabled the global open feature via the steering wheel controls (setting>vehicle>windows) so hopefully I won't ever have to worry about drying out my car again.

Same issue with a 2017 Everest Trend, again with extremely heavy rain. This is the 2nd time this has happened with an Everest I have owned. Makes me wonder if there is a sensor that opens the windows if the vehicle thinks it’s submerged? Anyway, four+ hours of torrential rain overnight, car pretty much ruined with all the door electronics soaked, speakers dripping water, seats soaked, and 20mm of water across the carpets. Calling insurance company and Ford today.

Many years ago, I owned a 2013 Energi. One rainy morning while getting ready for work, I was bending over putting my shoes on, I must have pressed, and held the door unlock button, while the fob was in my pocket, the windows and moon roof opened, luckily it was only a minute before I noticed it. I managed to get the windows and moon roof closed by holding the lock button for several seconds. I did go and disable the global opening in the left-hand screen. So, on my new at the time 2016 Energi, I immediately disabled the global opening on the new Fusion.
