- can manually lower/raise the LH side window (and RH front window on MKX) when the corresponding front window control switch is pressed/pulled and held in the first detent position.
- can automatically lower/raise the driver side window (and right front window on MKX) when the corresponding front window control switch is momentarily pressed/pulled to the second detent position and released.

Global Open - MKX Only

NOTE: The global open feature may be enabled/disabled via scan tool or in some cases modified by the customer following a procedure listed in the vehicle Owner's Literature. For a complete list of available programmable parameters, refer to the Module Configuration and Parameter Chart in Information Bus. Principles of Operation

The SJB sends a signal on the global open circuit, to both front door window motors to open the windows and roof opening panel (if equipped) based on a signal received from the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. If the accessory delay relay is active, the global open feature will not operate.
