How to Close the Windows After the Engine is Turned Off?
2 Answers
After the engine is turned off, the methods to close the windows are: 1. Use the remote key to remotely close the windows by long-pressing the lock button on the remote; 2. Hold the button for about 5 seconds, and the windows will generally close automatically. If the car does not have the automatic window function, it is impossible to close the windows after the engine is turned off, and you can only restart the engine to close the windows. One-touch window control refers to a system where the car window glass can be controlled to fully open or close with a single press. Cars equipped with one-touch window control have a two-stage window control switch. The first position works like a regular electric window, while the second position allows the window to automatically fully open or close with a single press and release.
I have experience with closing windows after the engine is off. Typically, the electrical system remains powered for a short while after turning off the car. If you haven't opened the doors or windows, you can usually operate them for about half a minute to a minute. My old car was designed this way—just quickly press the button to close them. If you miss that window, simply reinsert the key, turn it to the ACC position, and use the window button again. Many modern cars come with a remote window-closing feature: hold the lock button for five seconds to automatically close the windows—highly recommended to use. Installing an automatic window-closer is also easy; just plug it into the OBD port for around a hundred bucks, which helps protect against water damage and theft. Develop the habit of checking windows before parking, and during regular maintenance, check the battery health to avoid issues if low voltage affects functionality.
