How to Restore One-Touch Window Lift in Volkswagen Cars?

Method to restore one-touch window lift in Volkswagen cars: Lower the driver's side window completely, then pull up the window switch and hold it for 3 to 5 seconds after the window reaches the top. One-touch window lift refers to a feature where the vehicle's computer sends a continuous window lift command to the window motor when the lift button is pressed (immediately released after lifting the window switch) for less than the set time, until the window is fully closed. Volkswagen is an automobile manufacturer headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany. Volkswagen brand cars include Jetta, Passat, Lavida, Lamando, Teramont, Tiguan L, Magotan, and Bora. Taking the 2020 Comfort Magotan as an example, it is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I recently encountered the issue of one-touch window lift failure in my Volkswagen and would like to share my troubleshooting experience. This typically occurs after battery disconnection or power loss, requiring the control unit to relearn the window settings. Here's my approach: First, turn off the engine and ensure all doors are properly closed in a quiet environment. Then press and hold the DOWN button for the affected window until it fully lowers to the bottom - keep holding for another 5-6 seconds without releasing. Immediately afterward, press and hold the UP button until the window fully closes, maintaining pressure for several seconds at the top. Test the one-touch function afterward. If unsuccessful, I'd repeat the process or briefly disconnect the battery's negative terminal for five minutes before retrying. For prevention, I recommend regular battery health checks to avoid such issues caused by aging components. Maintaining this convenient feature proves particularly useful during rainy weather or busy moments - a simple manual procedure that's not too difficult to perform.
