Imagine stepping into a sweltering car on a hot day. With the 2017 Ford Fusion, you don’t have to. Thanks to the Global Window System, you can roll down your windows using your key fob before you even open the door, letting the hot air escape and making your ride much more comfortable from the start. This convenient feature is a game-changer during summer, and it’s incredibly easy to use. Let’s explore how to roll down your windows with the key fob on your 2017 Ford Fusion.
Effortlessly Open Your 2017 Ford Fusion Windows Remotely
The Ford Global Window System allows you to control your car’s windows and sunroof remotely using your key fob. Opening your windows for ventilation is simple and quick. Here’s how to roll down your windows with your key fob:
- Unlock Your Fusion: Begin by pressing the unlock button on your key fob once to unlock your 2017 Ford Fusion.
- Press and Hold Unlock: Immediately after unlocking, press and hold the unlock button again for approximately three seconds.
- Observe Windows Rolling Down: You’ll see all the windows and the sunroof (if equipped) start to roll down.
- Stop at Any Time: If you want to stop the windows from rolling down at a specific point, simply press either the lock or unlock button once.
Closing Your Windows Remotely with the Key Fob
Just as easily as you can open them, you can also close the windows of your 2017 Ford Fusion using the key fob. This is perfect if you’ve aired out your car and are ready to secure it, or if you’ve accidentally left the windows open. Here’s how to close your windows remotely:
- Press and Hold Lock: Press and hold the lock button on your key fob for about two seconds.
- Windows Will Roll Up: The windows and sunroof will begin to close automatically.
Understanding the Key Fob Range for Remote Window Operation
For the Global Window System to work, your key fob needs to be within a functional range of your 2017 Ford Fusion. This range is similar to the distance required for locking and unlocking your doors. Generally, you can expect the key fob to operate effectively within approximately 20 meters (around 65 feet) of your vehicle.
How to Enable and Disable the Global Window System on Your 2017 Ford Fusion
While the remote window feature is incredibly useful, there might be times when you prefer to disable it. For example, during colder months, you might not want the windows to accidentally roll down. You can easily enable or disable this feature through your car’s settings:
- Start Your Vehicle: Turn on your 2017 Ford Fusion.
- Access Vehicle Settings: Use the controls on the left side of your steering wheel to navigate through the driver display menu.
- Go to Settings: Look for “Vehicle Settings” in the menu options.
- Select Windows: Within Vehicle Settings, find and select “Windows.”
- Enable or Disable Remote Open and Close: You will see an option to “Remote Open and Close.” Here, you can toggle the feature to enable or disable it according to your preference.
With the Global Window System, the 2017 Ford Fusion offers a blend of convenience and technology, making everyday car use just a little bit easier and more comfortable. Enjoy the fresh air and cooler cabin thanks to this smart key fob feature!
