      I'm a bit suprised, that many people still don't know about the thing with the windows. This feature is from the 90s...My Golf MK4 already had that feature, my peugeot 206 s16 had it and my Beamer E91 had it also. Now my Mondeo MK5 has it. And it 's not even the Smart Key from this video.

    Well, it only took me 5.5 years to find this out, but better late than never.

    The keyfob for my 2017 Ford Edge will remote start the same way (although my keyfob looks a little different from yours) but it will also tell you that the remote start was successful or not. Really! After you do the remote start, keep looking at your keyfob and within a couple of seconds, you'll get a light. The light will be green to let you know your remote start was successful, or it'll be red to let you know the remote start failed. I most often remote start my car without being able to see it, like in my bedroom when I'm dressing, and I'll know the car is running and warming up. Or, I'll start doing the remote start sequence while walking toward the parking garage. I'll retry while I walk until I get a green light and that way, I'm starting my car at the maximum distance from the car. That's my thank you for being shown in your video how to roll all the windows down and up! I didn't not know that! :)

      We have tried that and it just seems to go back to wherever the seat was last. Also, if we both get it and have our own fob in our pockets does it know which fob to set the seat for? My husband is 14” taller than me so this will be handy if I can get it to work!

      @sjn7220 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@5heinens It seems to work for me, but maybe check your owners manual to make sure it is an option on your car. You have to go through a programming step to link the seat memory # to the fob. I've also noticed the seat memory can be "forgetful" at times. I'm not sure how it tells the difference between 2 present fobs, maybe the one closest to the detector in the drivers side dash it goes with.

      @NerfMaster28 ปีที่แล้ว

      In my moms 2019 Ford Edge I have that programmed with the key she uses the most. What you do is unlock the vehicle with the remote, the press the number button for what preset seat you use.. You press in the button hold it until you hear the first beep, but don’t let get go of it until you hear the 2nd beep, the it will program that to the seat button you selected. So the. Just to test to make sure it works. What you can do is move the seat all the way back shut the door then press the unlock button on the remote and it will move the seat up! Only works with the smart key only. Hope this helps!

    If your car battery or remote fob battery dies, you have an emergency key inside the fob, the plastic at the back of the driver door handle comes off and there is a key hole to open the door.
    If your remote fob battery dies you can still start your Ford by putting the fob near the push button start, sometimes inside the glove box or at the bottom of the storage bin at the rear of the console.
    The window remote is a great feature that you have to enable through the menus in the cluster and using the left navigation buttons on the steering wheel.
    You can also choose other options like only unlock the driver door.
    Enjoy!

    I just bought yesterday a 2016 Ford Explorer limited 4wd and it has the same remote. Did you know that with the remote that at night, if you decide to use your remote start, and you press the lock button and then the remote start, a green light will come on, on your key fob indicating that it's on? And, when you want to stop the vehicle from auto start, you press the auto start twice and the red light will appear on the key fob as well, those two indicator colors will be between the unlock and lock feature buttons.
    My previous car was a 2019 Ford Explorer XLT. I wanted another Ford Explorer but, I didn't want the 2020-2022 because, they are kinda ugly. I like the previous body style. Thank goodness that the 2023-2024 models of the Ford Explorer will go back to the old body from 2016-2019 because, it has sold more except with a few changes and enhancements.

    If your ford double honks when you exit the car with the engine running, you can prevent it from doing so by holding the keyfob pressed to the driver window as you close the door. After that, you can still lock the door with the fob. I do this when I leave my dog in the car so I can leave the AC running.

    All these negative comments really not needed. Give the guy a break. Also on the windows rolling down you can just let them halfway down by immediately releasing button after they begin to open and quickly push button again. The faster you do it the windows will be only partially open, if that's what you want instead of fully opened. Same for rolling up.

      @davej3781 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      the best part of that feature is that you can lock the doors with the key inside, and the car "knows" the key is inside and not outside the vehicle so it won't let anyone open the doors (but just make sure you remember to lock the doors with 7-8,9-0... otherwise you've got an unlocked car with the key inside, anyone can get in and drive away). I'm not sure exactly how the car knows the key is inside and not outside the vehicle, it must have multiple sensors and triangulates the position. I've tried many times to fool it, but it always knows where the key is.
      then when you come back, use the keypad to unlock the doors
      this is very handy for situations where you don't want to have your key in your pocket (i.e. you're doing something where the key could get lost or damaged). I usually leave my key in the trunk.

    • @Firechaser34

      After entering your code to unlock the driver's door, press 1-2 and 3-4 together and all the doors will unlock. Pressing 7-8 anf 9-0 together will then lock all doors. Regardless of the key being in the ignition or not.

If it does you can do this for every key fob incase different ppl drive the vehicle with different seat/mirrors setting.
