Roof Opening Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The roof opening panel assembly uses an integrated motor and module to operate the roof opening panel. The roof opening panel switch is located in the overhead console. Actuating the switch supplies a voltage signal to the roof opening panel motor.

To open the sliding glass panel, press and release the rear of the control switch. The roof opening panel opens automatically. The roof opening panel movement can be stopped at any time by pressing the switch again. If the shade is closed, it opens along with the roof opening panel.

Global open is a feature that opens the roof opening panel sliding glass to the vent position (and open vehicle windows) before entering the vehicle. If the roof opening panel shield is closed when global open is requested, the shield will open before the roof opening panel sliding glass panel will move. This feature is activated by pressing and holding the RKE UNLOCK button. When the BCM receives the signal a PWM signal is sent to the roof opening panel system to operate as necessary. Global open operation will stop if the delayed accessory power is activated by means other that a global open command or if any roof opening panel switch is activated. Conditions necessary for the roof opening panel global open feature are as follows:
