How to Open Car Windows Without Starting the Engine?

Turn the key directly to the ON position. At this time, the car is only in the power-on state and has not been ignited and started. Keep the car in the power-on state, and the windows can be opened. Use the mobile app to control, this method is applicable to some car models. Car owners can try according to their own car models. Use the car remote key. Press and hold the unlock button on the car key for about 2 to 3 seconds, and the window glass will automatically roll down. Press and hold the lock button to roll the window back up.

Last time I was in the car with the engine off and wanted to open the window for some air, but the button didn't respond. I tried turning the key to the ACC position—the battery had some power left, but sometimes when it's low, things won't work. Check if the dashboard lights come on; if they do, there's power—try the switch again. If they don't, the battery might be dead, and you'll need to call for help or use jumper cables. I once got stuck in the sun, sweltering, and later learned to check the battery's health regularly to avoid a complete drain. A good habit is to leave the window slightly cracked when parking, so you can still get air if trapped, especially important when traveling with kids for safety.
