How To Control Windows With The Key Fob

Research has indicated that when vehicles are parked outdoors on a sunny day, the temperature inside the cabin can rapidly rise to dangerous levels within just one hour. Many car owners are familiar with the challenges of starting up and driving under such scorching conditions, prompting car manufacturers to devise a solution.

Implementing remote power window control allows drivers to conveniently lower the windows using their key fob, allowing them to cool down the car before entering. In certain cases, this remote window function may also extend to the sunroof or moonroof.

Although different car manufacturers may slightly vary the button actions on the key fob for this feature, they all typically involve pressing the “lock” and/or “unlock” buttons.

Method 1 for Remote Power Window Control – Press and Hold:

1. Press and hold the “unlock” button for a minimum of 3 seconds to initiate the downward movement of the windows.
2. Press either the “lock” or “unlock” button to stop the windows at any point.
3. To continue rolling the windows down, repeat step 1.
4. For upward movement, press and hold the “lock” button for at least 2 seconds to start rolling the windows up.
5. Again, pressing the “lock” or “unlock” button will halt the window movement.
6. To resume rolling the windows up, repeat step 4.

You can easily and precisely control the power windows by following these steps.

Method 2 for Remote Power Window Control – Double Press And Hold:

1. Press the “unlock” button twice, and hold it immediately after the second press. This action will initiate the downward rolling of the windows.
2. Release the “unlock” button to stop the windows from rolling.
3. To resume rolling the windows down, repeat step 1.
4. For rolling the windows up, press the “lock” button twice, and remember to hold it immediately after the second press. This action will start the upward rolling of the windows.
5. Release the “lock” button to stop the windows from rolling.
6. To resume rolling the windows up, repeat step 4.

Follow these steps to effortlessly control your power windows with a remote, ensuring convenience and ease of use.

Alternative Method For Closing Windows From Outside the Car

Due to safety regulations in certain countries, car manufacturers and distributors can only enable the remote opening of power windows. Although drivers cannot close the windows remotely, they still have the option to close them using the mechanical key inside the key fob. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Remove the mechanical key from the fob and insert it into the key cylinder on the driver’s door.
2. Turn the key towards the “lock” direction and hold it until the windows open. For some models, you may need to turn the key to the “lock” direction twice before storing it and then wait for the windows to open.

By following these steps, you can easily close the windows even without remote control functionality.
