Does the Camry automatically close the windows after locking the car?
2 Answers
Camry activates the automatic window closing setting, and the windows will automatically close after locking the car. Method to activate the automatic window closing setting: First, hold the switch down for 5 seconds, then hold it up for 5 seconds to release, activating the automatic window closing setting. When the vehicle speed exceeds 15 kilometers, the vehicle will automatically start. The automatic unlocking function will activate automatically after the vehicle is parked and turned off. Automatic window closing means that when the owner forgets to close the windows when getting out of the car, it will automatically close the windows for the owner. Precautions for enabling one-touch window closing: One-touch window closing must be used in conjunction with the window anti-pinch function; otherwise, it can easily cause injury because the motor's window-closing force is still quite strong. This is also why many car models have a one-touch window lowering function but not a one-touch window raising function.
I've been driving a Camry for many years, specifically the 2017 hybrid model, and I've noticed that the auto window-closing feature after locking the car really depends on the vehicle's configuration. For example, my car came with a factory-installed smart key system—just hold down the lock button on the remote for a few seconds, and the windows will slowly close on their own. This feature is especially handy when you're in a hurry or during rainy weather, preventing thieves from taking advantage or water damage to the seats. However, not all Camrys come with this feature; lower trims or older models might not have it, so it's best to check manually. If your car supports it, make it a habit to use the key operation or activate it through the car's infotainment settings. I've also encountered an issue: if the battery is low, the auto window-closing might fail, so regular maintenance of the key and battery is crucial. In short, first check the owner's manual or try holding down the lock button to see if it works. If not, consider upgrading to a factory plugin. Details in safe driving shouldn't be overlooked—a small feature can really save a lot of hassle.
