Driver Controls -> POWER WINDOWS for Your Ford Explorer SUV Fifth Generation (2005-2011)

Driver Controls  
To have full capacity usage of your power point, the engine is required to  
be running to avoid unintentional discharge of the battery. To prevent  
the battery from being discharged:  
do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is  
not running,  
do not leave battery chargers, video game adapters, computers and  
other devices plugged in overnight or when the vehicle is parked for  
extended periods.  
Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.  
POWER WINDOWS  
WARNING: Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle and  
do not let children play with the power windows. They may  
seriously injure themselves.  
WARNING: When closing the power windows, you should verify  
they are free of obstructions and ensure that children and/or  
pets are not in the proximity of the window openings.  
Press and pull the window switches  
to open and close windows.  
Press down (to the first detent)  
and hold the switch to open.  
Pull up (to the first detent) and  
hold the switch to close.  
Rear Window Buffeting: When one or both of the rear windows are  
open, the vehicle may demonstrate a wind throb or buffeting noise. This  
noise can be alleviated by lowering a front window approximately two to  
three inches.  
One-touch up or down (Driver’s window only) (if equipped)  
This feature allows the driver’s window to open or close fully without  
holding the control down.

To operate one-touch down:  
Press the switch completely down  
to the second detent and release  
quickly. The window will open  
fully. Momentarily press the  
switch to any position to stop the  
window operation.  
If the switch is pressed and held to  
the normal close or one-touch up position during a one-touch down  
event, the window will stop. If, after 1/2 second the switch is still held,  
the window will perform a normal close or one-touch up.  
To operate one-touch up:  
Pull the switch completely up to  
the second detent and release  
quickly. The window will close  
fully. Momentarily press the  
switch to any position to stop the  
window operation.  
If the switch is pressed and held to  
the normal open or one-touch down position during a one-touch up  
event, the window will stop. If, after 1/2 second the switch is still held,  
the window will perform a normal open or one-touch down.  
Bounce-back (driver’s window only)  
When an obstacle has been detected in the window opening as the  
window is moving upward, the window will automatically reverse  
direction and move down. This is known as “bounce-back”. If the ignition  
is turned off (without accessory delay being active) during bounce-back,  
the window will move down until the bounce-back position is reached.  
Security override  
To override a bounce-back condition, within two seconds after the  
window reaches the bounce-back position, pull and hold the switch up  
and the window will travel up with no bounce-back or pinch  
protection. If the switch is released before the window is fully closed,  
the window will stop. For example, this can be used to overcome the  
resistance of ice on the window or seals.

Window lock  
The window lock feature allows only  
the driver to operate the power  
windows.  
To lock out all the window controls  
(except for the driver’s) press the  
right side of the control. Press the  
left side to restore the window  
controls.  
Accessory delay  
With accessory delay, the audio system, power windows and moon roof  
(if equipped) operate for up to 10 minutes after the ignition switch is  
turned from the on to the off position or until either front door is  
opened.  
INTERIOR MIRROR  
The interior rear view mirror has two pivot points on the support arm  
which lets you adjust the mirror up or down and from side to side.  
WARNING: Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is in  
motion.  
Automatic dimming interior rear view mirror (if equipped)  
Your vehicle may be equipped with an interior rear view mirror which  
has an auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirror will  
change from the normal (high reflective) state to the non-glare  
(darkened) state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. When the  
mirror detects bright light from behind the vehicle, it will automatically  
adjust (darken) to minimize glare.  
The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the  
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) to ensure a bright clear view when  
backing up.  
Do not block the sensors on the front and back of the interior  
rear view mirror since this may impair proper mirror  
performance.  
Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh  
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.
