Ford Focus Owners Manual: Electric windows

WARNING:

Do not operate the electric windows unless they are free from obstruction.

Note: If you operate the switches often during a short period of time, the system might become inoperable for a certain time to prevent damage due to overheating.

Switch on the ignition to operate the electric windows.

Global opening and closing

You can also operate the electric windows with the ignition off via the global opening and closing function. See Locks.

Driver's door switches

You can operate all the windows with the switches on the door trim panel of the driver’s door.

Opening and closing the windows automatically

Press or lift the switch to the second action point and release it completely.

Press or lift it again to stop the windows.

Note: On vehicles with a convertible top, the automatically closing function is not available on the rear quarter windows.

Safety switch for rear windows

Note: You can always operate the rear windows from the driver’s door.

A switch in the driver’s door disables the rear electric window switches.

The light in the switch comes on and the lights in the rear window switches go off when the rear windows are disabled.

Anti-trap function

WARNING:

Careless closing of the windows can override the protection function and cause injuries.

The electric windows will stop automatically while closing and reverse some distance if there is an obstacle in the way.

Overriding the anti-trap function

CAUTION:

While you close the window for the third time, the anti-trap function is disabled. Make sure there are no obstacles in the way of the closing window.

To override this protection function when there is a resistance, e.g. in the winter, proceed as follows:

1. Close the window twice until it reaches the resistance and let it reverse.

2. Close the window a third time to the resistance. The anti-trap function is disabled and you cannot close the window automatically. The window will override the resistance and you can close it fully.

3. If the window does not close after the third attempt, have it checked by an expert.

Resetting the memory of the electric windows

WARNING:

The anti-trap function is deactivated until you have reset the memory.

After the battery has been disconnected from the vehicle you must reset the memory separately for each window:

Note: On vehicles with a convertible top, the roof and doors must be fully closed before carrying out the following procedure.

1. Lift and hold the switch until the window is fully closed.

2. Release the switch.

3. Lift the switch again for one more second.

4. Push and hold the switch until the window is fully open.

5. Release the switch.

6. Lift and hold the switch until the window is fully closed.

7. Open the window and try to close it automatically.

8. Reset and repeat procedure if the window does not close automatically.
