Does the Outlander remote key support one-touch window control?

The Outlander remote key does not support one-touch window control. Its remote key can only lock/unlock doors and open the trunk. Taking the 2021 Outlander as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category with body dimensions of: length 4705mm, width 1810mm, height 1710mm, wheelbase 2670mm, and fuel tank capacity of 63L. The 2021 Outlander features MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine delivering maximum power of 166PS (122kW) and peak torque of 201Nm, paired with a 6-speed continuously variable transmission.
The Outlander's remote key indeed supports one-touch window control. I've been using this feature for three years and find it quite convenient. Typically, you need to press and hold the lock button for about three seconds to automatically raise and close all windows; similarly, holding the unlock button for three seconds will lower the windows. This design is particularly useful in summer or when parking, allowing for pre-ventilation or ensuring windows are securely closed. However, note that some earlier models may require activation at a 4S shop as this feature might be disabled in factory settings. I once experienced key malfunction, and after checking, found the battery was nearly dead—replacing it restored functionality. For safety, always ensure no people or objects are nearby when operating to prevent window-related injuries. It's advisable to test this feature regularly, especially during seasonal changes, as its convenience shouldn't be underestimated.
From an automotive perspective, the one-touch window control via remote key is a standard feature on the Outlander, and my 2019 model supports it. The principle involves the key sending a signal to the vehicle's control module, which then triggers the window motor to perform the action. The operation is straightforward: hold the lock button to raise the windows and the unlock button to lower them, with the entire process taking about two to three seconds. This not only saves time but also allows for quick window closure in rainy weather to protect the interior. However, it relies on the battery condition; if the key's battery is low, the response may be delayed or non-functional. Additionally, some owners have reported unstable functionality after modifications, recommending factory maintenance to avoid issues. Overall, this feature is thoughtfully designed, enhancing the driving experience and serving as a small technological highlight.
