Principles of Operation: Bounce-Back
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The front window motors have a bounce-back feature. If an obstacle has been detected in the window opening as the window glass is moving upward, the window motor automatically reverses direction and moves the glass toward the bounce-back position (in both up and one-touch up modes). If an obstruction occurs between 4 mm (0.15 in) and 200 mm (7.87 in) of window opening, the bounce-back position is approximately at 250 mm (9.84 in) of window opening. If an obstruction occurs at a position greater than 200 mm (7.87 in) of window opening, the bounce-back position is approximately at 50 mm (1.96 in) below where the obstruction occurred.
