14th-generation Sylphy does not have an automatic window-closing feature when locking the car. The following is a related introduction about the Sylphy: 1. Introduction to the Sylphy: The Sylphy is a mid-size car under Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. and is one of the most typical mainstream family sedans in the Chinese market (alongside models like the Octavia PRO, Sagitar, Lavida, Corolla, and Bora). 2. Intelligent configurations of the Sylphy: The new car is equipped with the latest Nissan Connect super-smart system, featuring an external 8-inch HD capacitive touchscreen, which includes functions such as voice control of the vehicle and remote control of the vehicle. Voice control allows basic operation of the vehicle's online entertainment system, all-time online navigation system, Bluetooth phone, driving recorder, and air conditioning through simple dialogue.

The 14th-generation Sylphy I drive indeed has an automatic window-closing feature when locking the car. By holding the lock button on the remote key for about three seconds when locking, all windows will automatically roll up and close tightly, which is extremely convenient. My car is the Zhixiang (Smart Enjoy) trim, and this function is enabled by default. However, early base models might not have it, so you’d need to check the manual for settings or visit a 4S店 (dealership) to upgrade the module. Without this feature, there’s a risk of water ingress during rain or theft of items left inside, so it’s advisable to develop a habit of manually checking the windows before turning off the engine, especially when going out with kids. Installing a small OBD port accessory costs just a few dozen yuan and takes minutes, significantly improving daily convenience. Also, keep an eye on the key fob’s battery level—if it’s too low, it may affect signal transmission. Regularly cleaning and lubricating the window tracks can prevent jamming and extend the motor’s lifespan.

As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I'm very familiar with the details of the 14th-generation Sylphy: most high-end models come with an automatic window-closing feature upon locking, activated by long-pressing the remote lock button. However, base models like the entry-level version require additional optional installations or aftermarket modules to support this function, which isn't as comprehensive as some German cars that have it as standard. I recommend owners first conduct a simple test: try pressing the button after turning off the engine and locking the car. If there's no response, visit a modification shop to install a window-closing device—it's easy to operate and costs around a hundred yuan. Although this feature is minor, it can prevent theft and interior damage from sudden heavy rain. Pair it with smart maintenance, such as checking the condition of window seals every six months to ensure smooth operation. Replace the key battery promptly when it runs out to avoid temporary malfunctions. My experience is that spending a little money on upgrades provides extra security for driving.

In the configuration of the 14th-generation Sylphy, the auto window roll-up upon locking feature is not available in all versions—it depends on factory options or post-purchase upgrades. The base model may lack this function. Try holding the lock button on the key fob for a few seconds to see if the windows roll up. If they don’t, it means an additional electronic module is needed for enhancement. This system is both convenient and helps prevent rain damage, and the modification process is quick and hassle-free. Regularly clean the windows to avoid jamming and potential part burnout due to friction.
