TL;DR: Despite some old threads either here or on the defunct Energi forum and some other communities saying Global Close wouldn't be an option, it looks like it actually is on our vehicles! Just as an explainer what 'Global Open' and 'Global Close' are for those unaware: This allows rolling your windows down and back up via the keyfob outside the vehicle. The process is as simple as pressing the lock/unlock button once and then immediately press and hold it for about 3-5 seconds and the windows will roll up or down (unlock for down, lock for up). Unlike the Global Open function, Global Close only requires pressing and holding the lock button once to engage. Global Open will continue to require pressing the unlock button once and then pressing and holding it again to operate. At any time you can press lock or unlock to stop the windows while they are opening/closing. NOTE: It appears newer models years like the 2017 and newer already have this enabled and specifically detail it in the owners manual. Before changing this willy nilly, confirm yours does not already have this enabled using the fob operation noted above. There was a thread that popped up on the CyanLabs forum from a Fiesta owner who was trying to tackle enabling Global Close and the always helpful F150chief pointed out a thread for Kuga's (European Escape, essentially the same platform as the C-Max) on doing a relearn process on the auto-up/down functions on the windows to try and get it working. Not exactly sure what specific step finally solved it, but here's the process: WARNING! You are making changes to the Body Control Module. This module is crucial to vehicle operation and manages functions like interior and exterior lighting as well as ignition operation. If you are not comfortable messing with this and/or ForScan, please don't. Following these instructions is at your own risk and I am not responsible for any damages or malfunctions incurred as a result. As always with changes like these, please back up your AsBuilt/module configurations before making changes! Also follow all notes and warnings given to you by ForScan and their own resources. In ForScan, go into the module configuration screen and choose the 'Central Configuration' (NOT AsBuilt!) for the BdyCM module. Locate the Global Open/Global Close configuration entry and change it to the 'Global open/close doors enabled (3 seconds)' option. I think this is listed as 02? Write this to the module. Follow all directions ForScan gives you in this process. For completeness sake, I relearned the auto-up/down functions on all four windows. This is as simple as rolling a window both down AND up completely and holding the switch in those positions for about 5 seconds to learn the extent of travel. NOTE: If the one touch up/down on your windows does not work immediately, it will impact the Global Open/Close functionality. Messing with some modules like the BdyCM/BCM can do this and the relearn process noted here will need to be done. Once the one touch up/down works, you should be fine. And that was it! I can now confirm the windows now can also roll up via the keyfob. I'll try and get screenshots from the options in ForScan for later to add here.
