Ford Escape: Glass, Frames and Mechanisms / Description and Operation - Glass, Frames and Mechanisms - Vehicles With: One-Touch Open and Close Front Windows - Overview

Overview

Power Window Operation

The power windows operate only when the ignition is on, or up to 10 minutes after the ignition is changed from on to off while the front driver and passenger doors remain closed. Standard power window features include one-touch up and one-touch down operation on all 4 doors. The window control switch:

• can manually or automatically raise/lower all windows from the driver window control switch or the individual passenger window from the corresponding door switch.
• has a rear passenger window lock out feature (located on the driver window control switch).

Global Open/Close (if equipped)

The RKE can be used to operate the windows when the ignition is off and the accessory delay feature is not active. Within a short time after unlocking the vehicle doors with the RKE transmitter, press and hold the unlock button on the RKE transmitter until the windows begin moving. The windows automatically open. To close the windows, press and hold the lock button on the RKE transmitter until the windows begin moving. The windows automatically close. Pressing the lock or unlock button while the windows are moving (in either direction) stops window movement.

Rear Window Defrost

Press the rear window defrost switch (integral to the HVAC module) to activate the rear window defrost. The rear window defrost automatically turns off after a short period of time.
