NateTheFknGreat Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 So my gf who was driving my 2016 TC XLT LWB Wagon told me that she pressed the unlock button on the remote and held it down in a daze after she got off work... She then tells me all the windows roll down... I didn't know the van had that feature... Thought I'd share it with you guys... Upon me messing with my remote on my key, I noticed that you need to press the unlock button twice and hold it for about 4 seconds, then release it... Both front and sliding doors roll all the way down... I tried messing with it some more to see if they could roll up by pressing and holding the lock button but wasn't able to get anything... I know some of the Lexus and Infiniti cars have that feature in there remote but never knew Ford did also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonShockley Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 It's called Global Opening and Closing. It's on page 75 of my 2015 manual. To open all the windows:1. Press and release the remote control unlock button. 2. Press and hold the remote control unlock button for at least three seconds.Press the lock or unlock button to stop the opening function. To close all the windows: 1. Press and hold the remote control lock button for at least three seconds. Press the lock or unlock button to stop the closing function.

NateTheFknGreat Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 It's called Global Opening and Closing. It's on page 75 of my 2015 manual. To open all the windows: 1. Press and release the remote control unlock button. 2. Press and hold the remote control unlock button for at least three seconds. Press the lock or unlock button to stop the opening function. To close all the windows: 1. Press and hold the remote control lock button for at least three seconds. Press the lock or unlock button to stop the closing function. So I tried it and Yes, I can stop the windows rolling down where I want it...... But I can't get them to roll back up.... Doesn't matter how much I play with the remote.... It would be nice to get it to roll back up though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonShockley Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Same here. All these extra features say (If Equipped) and except for the ones that are paid options listed on the window sticker there's no documentation on which are or are not installed/enabled. The up feature also requires a bounce-back feature, presumably for safety to prevent closing against an obstruction like a person's hand or head. Instructions are on page 74 for overriding and resetting this feature. I haven't bothered to try it on mine since except for trying it once when I read it in the manual, I don't use these features.

tweiss3 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I just tested it, and I have the universal down on my 2015 TC Titanium LWB, but the universal up doesn't work. I even tried resetting the one touch up feature per the manual, didn't work. I wonder why Ford would equip a car with the universal down, but not up. I would think it would be a both or none thing.

mrtn Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Enter your VIN in Ford ETIS and pull the full configuration list. Every single option is listed there, including the window automation if equipped. Plyman and Beta Don 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I suppose if you had to publish one owners manual, for a bunch of different vehicles with different options, then not every vehicle will have the options described in the manual.

Beta Don Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 mrtn - Thanks for the tip about Ford ETIS. I'm still discovering new things my van has that I didn't know about and checking the list the ETIS printed out, I found a couple more. Wonderful resource!

mrtn Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 So your car is locked and pressing this does not unlock rear doors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 That is what the button does for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 For me, it's just a button that does nothing when I click it. Not that I have any real need for only unlocking the rear doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta Don Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) My 2014 XLT has the 'Global Down' or at least I thought it did, but it's not listed on ETIS, so I don't really have it. My windows do go down using the remote, but they don't go back up. If you have this option, the owners manual says you can turn it on or off using the information display and that's not functioning either While I had it at the dealer for a warranty repair, I showed them how my global down worked and explained that I didn't see any real need for that feature, but I complained that the Global Up which I really could make use of didn't function and asked them to fix it. I think they wasted about half a day trying to switch it on with their computer and in the end, the answer was . . . . if your van didn't come with that option (and ETIS says mine didn't) then they can't do anything for you Don Edited October 11, 2016 by Beta Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 ETIS had "LESS fully functional Global Down"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta Don Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 No doesn't say "Less Global Opening and Closing", nor does it say "With" either - It's not mentioned at all Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zalienz Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Etis says this about mine: " Less Global/Auto Closing". As expected, doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Amazing that there isn't a way to access the Body Control Module and change things like that. Since you can remap most engines, and change transmission shift points, on most cars. It would be cool to be able to program your signal lights to wig-wag.

Plyman Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 My guess is that one could clear the heat from the van on a summer day with the universal down before entering the vehicle? Beta Don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta Don Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Good thought! - It may be more useful than I thought I would *bet* that all sorts of things really *are* programmable, but 98% of the techs in our dealerships just don't know how and aren't really interested in learning. My passenger window would only roll up or down about an inch and a half with each press of the button when I bought it used - It took 6 or 7 presses to roll all the way down or back up. Took it in and the dealer diagnosed it as a defective window motor. They ordered the motor (took 2 days) and replaced it . . . . same problem! They did eventually fix the problem which I suspect required several phone calls to a 'higher authority' to learn how to reprogram something Don Edited December 20, 2016 by Beta Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
