2002 FORD EXPLORER roof

Moon roof (if equipped)
You can move the glass panel of the moon roof back to open or tilt up to
ventilate the vehicle.
To open the moon roof:
The moon roof is equipped with an
automatic, one-touch, express
opening feature. Press and
momentarily hold the rear portion of
the control. To stop motion at any
time during the one-touch opening,
press the control a second time.
To close the moon roof:
Press and hold the front portion of
the control until the glass panel
stops moving. Once fully closed, the
rear of the glass panel will appear
higher than the front edge.
To vent:
To tilt the moon roof into the vent position (when the glass panel is
closed), press and hold the front portion of the control. To close the
moon roof from the vent position, press and hold the rear portion of the
control until the glass panel stops moving.
If the battery is disconnected, discharged, or a new battery is installed,
the moon roof needs to be opened to the vent position to reset the moon
roof positions.
The moon roof has a sliding shade that can be opened or closed when
the glass panel is shut. To close the shade, pull it toward the front of the
vehicle.
Do not let children play with the moon roof. They may seriously
hurt themselves.
Interior Lamps
Dome lamps and map lamps
The front dome lamp is located overhead between the driver and
passenger seats. If the vehicle is equipped with a moon roof, the dome
lamp is located behind the moon roof.
Controls and features
102

The dome lamp will stay on if the
control is moved to the passenger
side position. When the control is in
the middle position, the lamp will
only come on when a door is
opened. If the control is moved to
the driver's side position, the lamp
will not come on at all.
With the control in the middle position, the dome lamp will illuminate
whenever a front door is opened. If either front door has been opened
from the outside, the lamp will remain on for 25 seconds after the door
is shut. If any other door has been opened from the inside, the lamp will
shut off immediately after the door is closed.
The map lamp controls (if
equipped) are located on the dome
lamp. Press the controls on either
side of each lens on each map lamp
to activate the lamps.
If equipped with a moon roof or an
auxillary air control, the map lamps
are located on the control panel.
Press the controls on either side of
each map lamp to activate the
lamps.
HOMELINKTUNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (IF EQUIPPED)
The HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver, located on the overhead console,
provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters
with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gates,
security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver, to a
garage door or gate be sure that people and objects are out of
the way to prevent potential harm or damage.

CHILDPROOF DOOR LOCKS
When these locks are set, the rear
doors cannot be opened from the
inside. The rear doors can be
opened from the outside when the
doors are unlocked.

rear edge of each rear door and

for both doors.
