This nifty feature allows you to lower your Ford vehicle\u2019s windows quickly and remotely using just your key fob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akinsford.com\/blog\/how-to-reset-tire-pressure-sensors-on-ford-vehicles\/\">How to Reset the Tire Pressure Sensors on Your Ford Vehicle<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to Activate Global-Open Windows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opening Windows<\/strong> &#8211; This secret function is surprisingly easy to use. Simply press and hold the unlock button on your key fob for at least 3 seconds, and your vehicle should do the rest. The feature will even vent your moonroof if one is equipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stopping Windows<\/strong> &#8211; Ok, so leaving your vehicle agape and unattended may not seem like such a great ideal. Luckily, the system allows you to open your windows part way. Just activate the feature as normal, then press the lock or unlock button at any time as they\u2019re opening to stop them in their place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Closing Windows<\/strong> &#8211; Change your mind about opening all those windows? No problem! Closing them back up is just as easy. Just press and hold the lock button for at least 2 seconds and watch as all windows slide back into their original position. This clever function can be particularly useful for sealing open windows in sudden bouts of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.akinsford.com\/blog\/top-3-indoor-kids-activities-in-atlanta-ga\/\">rain<\/a> without having to brave the elements yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.akinsford.com\/blog\/category\/technology\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/19152953\/2025_Ford_Explorer_Platinum_A1_O-1024x395.jpg\" alt=\"2025 Ford Explorer Platinum touchscreen display\" class=\"wp-image-21159 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/19152953\/2025_Ford_Explorer_Platinum_A1_O-1024x395.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/19152953\/2025_Ford_Explorer_Platinum_A1_O-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/19152953\/2025_Ford_Explorer_Platinum_A1_O-768x296.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2024\/08\/19152953\/2025_Ford_Explorer_Platinum_A1_O.jpg 1038w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.akinsford.com\/blog\/category\/technology\/\">More Blogs about Ford Technology<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.akinsford.com\/new-cars-winder-ga\"><strong>View New Ford Vehicles at Akins Ford<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Use the Ford Global-Open Window Feature For those of us without a remote-start-equipped vehicle, hazards of entering a hot car are all too familiar.
