Q5 does not automatically close windows after locking. This feature requires the installation of an automatic window closer, as it is not included as a standard feature from the factory. Taking the 2020 Audi Q5 as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with the following dimensions: length 4753mm, width 1893mm, height 1659mm, wheelbase 2908mm, fuel tank capacity 73l, and curb weight 1855kg. The 2020 Audi Q5 features a five-link independent suspension at the front and rear, and is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 190PS, maximum power of 140kW, maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Having driven the Q5 for several years, the auto-close windows feature after locking is super practical and incredibly simple. My daily routine is: first, briefly press the lock button on the remote key to lock the car, then press and hold the lock button for three to five seconds without releasing, and the windows will gradually close. Remember to ensure all doors are fully closed before operating, otherwise it might not work. If it's not enabled in the settings, get into the car, start the MMI system, find the "Convenience Features" or "Door Locks" menu, and turn on the "Auto Window Close" option. This way, you won't have to worry about water getting in on rainy days, and parking becomes more secure against theft. If there's no response when holding the button, check the battery level or the distance of the remote key, and make sure the windows aren't stuck. Regular maintenance at the 4S shop can prevent malfunctions. This trick is especially handy on long trips, so you never have to worry about forgetting to close the windows again.

I always worry about leaving the windows open when parking, but the auto-window-close feature on my Q5 has brought me much peace of mind. The basic operation is to briefly press the lock button to confirm the car is locked, then press and hold the same button for a few seconds—the windows will automatically roll up and close. If it doesn’t work, the function might be deactivated in the vehicle settings. Navigate to the 'Central Control' option on the MMI screen to enable it, or refer to the manual for adjustments. This is great for security, preventing thieves from peeking or rainwater from seeping in, especially when parked overnight on the street. Just note that the remote’s range shouldn’t be too far when holding the button, or the signal may drop. A dead battery can also cause failure, so have the technician check the voltage and wiring contacts during maintenance. Once you get used to this setting, the driving experience becomes smoother.

When driving my Q5, I love using the one-touch window closing feature with the lock button—it saves so much time. The steps are: first press the lock button to lock the car, then hold the lock button until all the windows are fully closed, which takes about three seconds. If it doesn’t work, check the settings menu or visit a service center to enable the convenience feature. This trick is super handy—I rarely forget to close the windows anymore, especially when rushing out the door.

I know a bit about automotive electronics. The automatic window closing feature on the Q5 after locking is actually triggered by the remote signal activating the convenience system. The operation involves holding down the key button after locking to activate the window lift module. If it malfunctions, check whether this option is enabled in the settings menu or inspect the wiring connections. This design prevents water ingress and theft, which is quite smart.

Taking kids out, the auto window close feature when locking the car is crucial. On my Q5, just press and hold the lock button for three seconds to ensure all windows are fully closed. If it doesn't work, enable the option in vehicle settings or consult your dealer. The benefit is not worrying about rain getting in or kids accidentally opening windows - extremely practical and reassuring.
