How to close the windows after turning off the Prado?
3 Answers
To close the windows after turning off the Prado, simply press and hold the lock button on the remote control for about five seconds, and the windows will automatically roll up and close. Here is some information about the Prado: 1. The Toyota Prado (PRADO) is produced by Sichuan Toyota, building on the successful production and sales of the Coaster bus. It is currently the only Prado production line in China. 2. The PRADO off-road vehicle is the latest model in the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado series. This newly developed next-generation SUV is equipped with a newly developed Toyota six-cylinder fuel-injected 1GR-FEV6 engine, with a displacement of 3956CC, excellent power performance, and exhaust emissions that meet the latest European III standards, making it highly environmentally friendly.
I remember it was quite simple to close the windows after turning off my Prado. Before parking, turning off the engine, and pulling out the key, if you quickly press the window button, you could still control the windows for a short while—about 30 seconds or so—before the window functions stopped working. Just don’t delay too long. If I missed that window, I’d reinsert the key into the ignition, turn it to the ACC position to power the car without starting the engine, and then operate the window buttons to close them. The remote key was also useful—holding down the unlock button for a few seconds would automatically lower the windows, and releasing and then holding it again would raise and close them. This was a lifesaver in the rain or at night. I made it a habit to close the windows before turning off the engine to avoid draining the battery too quickly. The Prado’s system is well-designed with a delayed power-off feature, so after turning off the engine, don’t rush to get out—try it a few more times to get the hang of it. For safety, avoid operating the windows while driving, and develop a good habit of double-checking everything.
After driving the Prado for so many years, I've found the ACC power-on method the most reliable for closing windows after turning off the engine. After parking and turning off the engine, insert the key back and turn it to the ACC position. When the electrical systems light up, operating the window buttons becomes smooth and error-free. The remote key function also works well—holding the unlock button for a few seconds can automatically roll down the windows, and pressing the same button again closes them. I've encountered situations where operating the windows immediately after turning off the engine works, but it doesn't after some time. The Prado has residual power protection, which is better than older cars. It's advisable not to wait until the battery is empty to do this to avoid the car stalling. This trick is especially handy on rainy days, and I often remind my family to check that the windows are closed before going to bed.
