Lincoln Navigator: Glass, Frames and Mechanisms / Glass, Frames and Mechanisms - Overview. Description and Operation

Overview

Delayed Accessory Feature

The power windows operate only when the delayed accessory feature is active. The delayed accessory feature is active whenever the ignition is ON, or up to 10 minutes after the ignition is changed from ON to OFF while the front driver and passenger doors remain closed.

Power Window Operation

Standard front power window features include one-touch up/down operation when the driver door window control switch (or passenger door window control switch) is momentarily pressed to the second detent and released.

The driver door window control switch may be used to raise or lower all door windows. The individual door windows can also be operated from each of the corresponding door window control switches.

NOTE: A new window motor cannot operate in one-touch up mode, and the obstacle detection feature is disabled prior to initialization. If the window motor is removed from the window regulator, or if a new window motor is installed, it must be initialized.

Refer to: Power Door Window Initialization (501-11 Glass, Frames and Mechanisms, General Procedures).

If an obstacle is detected in the window opening as the window glass is moving upward, the window motor automatically reverses direction until the window glass is slightly below where the obstruction occured and then stops moving. The window motors have a security override feaure. Once the window motor stops the glass after an obstacle has been detected, and within 2 seconds the switch is released, then held in the auto UP position, the window motor moves the glass up with no obstacle detection (security override). Obstacle detection is reactivated the next time the window is operated upward.

Passenger Windows Lock-Out

When the lock-out switch (part of the driver door window control switch) is in the LOCK position, the rear door passenger power windows can only be operated from the driver door window control switch.

Global Open/Close

NOTE: The global open/close feature may be enabled/disabled by the customer following a procedure listed in the Owner's Literature. For a complete list of available programmable parameters, refer to Module Configuration in Section 418-01.

The RKE transmitter can be used to operate the windows when the ignition is OFF and the accessory delay feature is not active. Within a short time after unlocking the vehicle doors with the RKE transmitter, press and hold the unlock button on the RKE transmitter until the windows begin moving. The windows automatically open. To close the windows, press and hold the lock button on the RKE transmitter. The windows automatically close. Pressing the unlock button a second time while the windows are moving (in either direction) stops window movement.

Rear Window Defrost

The rear window defrost can be turned on using the touchscreen and/or by pressing the defrost button (integral to the FCIM ). The rear window defrost automatically turns off after a short period of time.

Remote Start - Rear Window Defrost (if equipped)

The customer can select different climate control modes/preferences when the vehicle is started using the remote start feature. For information on setting the remote start preferences, refer to the Owner's Literature. When the rear window defrost is set to AUTO mode, the rear window defrost activates when the outside temperature is less than 0°C (32°F) and the vehicle is started using the remote start feature. No climate control adjustments are recognized during remote start operation. Once the ignition is cycled to the ON position, the climate control system returns to the previous settings (last ignition ON cycle) and adjustments can be made normally. If the previous setting was off, the climate control system turns off.
