Windows wind half-way down when opening the door? [FIXED]
Usually when I open the door, the windows come down about a cm and rise up again when I close the door. However sometimes the window winds over half-way down (both driver and passenger doors). Why is this happening? Is there a setting I can change to 'fix' this behaviour?
edit: fixed by changing the unlock door setting from 'convenience' to 'drivers door' Last edited by chylld; 10-05-2009 at 08:37 PM.. |

If you put your windows all the way up before opening the door, then turn the car off completely, it will stay up when you re-open the door when you get back in |

Yeah that would be normal operation; but sometimes, even if the doors were fully closed on the previous trip, instead of coming down just 5-10mm it will go over half-way down!!

the windows will go down halfway when you open the door when you press the unlock button twice which unlocks the passenger door and the boot as well. i think you can programme the key not to do this but i have never bothered.

If it comes down halfway then your window motor's ECU is blow and it needs to get replaced. I just had mine replaced and and the issue went away. If it only pops down a few mm then dont worry about it. Its normal.

I've been wondering this too. I knew that you needed to press the button twice, but couldn't quite work out what this feature is for. I just put it down to German engineers with too much time on their hands.
While on features I haven't quite worked out yet, how do you get the headlight washers to come on? They seem to come on randomly whenever I use the windscreen washers. Also, is there a way to change the date reading on the audio headunit so that it reads in an Australian way (ie. 6/10/09 instead of 10/6/09)?

Window half-way down --- it'll do it when you press unlock twice. You can change the unlock setting to unlock everything with one press. So you can have the passenger door unlocked without the window coming half -way down.
Headlight washers --- you activate them when you wash the windscreen, and the headlights are also on. |

Sadly no business or professional nav in my lil' car. I guess I'll just get used to be reading the date like an American.

It is definatley a setting that can be changed. I played with all the settings when i got the car, inface i think my hubby has this setting on his key. Its soo annoying if he uses it. I turned it off straight away my key setup.

you beat me to it. I think it even says in there that the feature is there to allow for more room to get in/out of the car in a cramped spot. I like the feature - it stops passengers from closing the door by pushing/pulling on the glass (leaving fingerprints everywhere) instead of the door itself. |

Curious though, how would winding the windows down help in a cramped spot? If there is a car next to you, ........ OHH I see now. Will check the manual tonight. |

I hate the headlight washer sprays. You clean the car, have the driving lights on. quick spray to clean the windscreen and bam, water all over the car from the headlights
