How to activate the one-touch up/down window feature for the GL8?
3 Answers
Here are the methods to activate the one-touch up/down window feature for the GL8: 1. Open the window (one-touch down): The one-touch window button is located on the door armrest. Press the button to the first position (pressing too hard will reach the second position), and release when the window reaches the desired position. Briefly press the switch to the second position to automatically open the window. 2. Close the window (one-touch up): Press the button upward to the first position, and release when the window reaches the desired position. Pull the button hard to the second position, and the window will automatically rise and close completely. 3. You can also control the one-touch up/down window feature using the lock and unlock buttons on the key. Press and hold the lock button for more than 3 seconds to close all windows; press and hold the unlock button for more than 3 seconds to automatically lower all four windows.
The one-touch window activation method for my GL8 is quite simple. First, roll the window all the way down by pressing the button, then hold the window-up button without releasing it until the window reaches the top and keep pressing for about 5 seconds. Next, press the window-down button to lower the window completely and hold for another 5 seconds. This completes the initialization, and the one-touch function will be activated. When I first bought this car, I also learned step by step. After activation, opening and closing the windows becomes very convenient, especially in traffic jams where one-touch operation saves effort. It also prevents misoperation that could cause the glass to jam. I recommend checking it every six months. If multiple attempts still don’t work, visit a 4S store to check the settings—it only takes about ten minutes to improve your driving experience. In short, give it a try; don’t be afraid of the hassle—it’s definitely worth it.
As someone who frequently repairs cars, activating the one-touch up/down feature for the GL8 requires a step-by-step approach. First, lower the window completely, then manually pull the window-up button to the top position and hold it for more than three seconds to let the system memorize the position. Next, press the window-down button to the bottom and also hold it for about three seconds. This method has a high success rate for one-time activation; otherwise, the window module may malfunction if not calibrated. After activation, one-touch operation becomes more reliable, reducing wear on the switch components. If issues arise, check if the fuse is blown or if the wiring is loose. When performing the operation yourself, press the button gently to avoid damaging electronic components. It usually takes just a few minutes, is simple, practical, and saves money. Make it a habit to test periodically to ensure safety.
