2003 FORD EXPLORER SPORT TRAC headlamp

Bounce-Back
When the back window is moving upward and an obstacle interferes with
the window’s movement, the back window will reverse direction and
move toward the fully open position. This is known as “bounce-back”.
Security Override
If, during a bounce-back condition, the control is held in the clockwise
(“up”) direction for at least two seconds,the back window will travel
up with no bounce-back protection.If the control is released before
the window reaches fully closed or the ignition is switched to OFF or
START, the back window will reverse direction with bounce-back
re-enabled.
The following are possible reasons for using the security override:
•Ice on the window causing a restriction.
•Window unexpectedly reverses.
Position recovery mode
If the window fails to operate in “normal” operation mode, the control
can be turned and held in the active position (up or down window
direction) which will move the window in increments of approximately
15mm (0.6 inches) in the selected direction. (The “vent” feature is
inoperable in this mode.) This feature allows the window to be closed.
Once the window has reached the full closed position, the window
should again operate in the “normal” operation mode. If the window still
does not operate correctly, see your dealer for service.
SETTING AUTOLAMP (IF EQUIPPED)
1. Make sure the headlamp control
is in the OFF position. Leaving the
headlamp control on will override

3. Slide the delay control all the way
to the left for the shortest delay and
past detent to turn off.
The further you move the knob to
the right, the longer the headlamps
stay on after the ignition is turned
to the OFF position. The autolamp will keep the headlamps on for a
maximum of three minutes after the ignition is turned to OFF.
Automatic dimming rear view mirror
The autolamp/automatic dimming
mirror is equipped with an
automatic dimming feature. This
feature will change from the normal
state to the non-glare “active” state
when bright lights (glare) reach the
mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from front or behind, it will
adjust automatically to minimize glare.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal position whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) (when the mirror is in the ON position).
This helps to ensure a bright clear view in the mirror when backing up.
Power side view mirrors (if equipped)
To adjust your mirrors
1. Select
to adjust the left
mirror or
to adjust the right
mirror.
2. Move the control in the direction
you wish to tilt the mirror.
3. Return to the center position to
disable the adjust function.

•nearby radio towers,
•structures around the vehicle and
•other vehicles parked next to the vehicle.

halves of the remote entry
transmitter near the key ring. DO
NOT TAKE THE FRONT PART OF
THE REMOTE ENTRY
TRANSMITTER APART.
2. Remove the old battery.
3. Insert the new battery. Refer to
the diagram inside the remote entry
transmitter for the correct orientation of the battery.
4. Snap the two halves back together.
Note:Replacement of the battery willnotcause the remote transmitter
to become deprogrammed from your vehicle. The remote transmitter
should operate normally after battery replacement.

Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door
before you start the engine. SeeGuarding against exhaust fumesin
this chapter for more instructions.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your dealer
inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
Important safety precautions
When the engine starts, the idle RPM runs faster to warm the engine. If
the engine idle speed does not slow down automatically, have the vehicle
checked.
Before starting the vehicle:
1. Make sure all occupants buckle their safety belts. For more
information on safety belts and their proper usage, refer to theSeating
and safety restraintschapter.
2. Make sure the headlamps and electrical accessories are off.
If starting a vehicle with an automatic transmission:
•Make sure the parking brake is
set.
