Method to set up automatic window roll-up when locking the Corolla: 1. Introduction: The one-touch window control button is located on the driver's door, marked with the English word "Auto". 2. Categories: Cars equipped with one-touch window control have a two-stage window control switch. The first stage functions like a regular electric window switch. The second stage allows the window to automatically fully open or close with a single press and release. Here are some additional details: The automatic window closer has three modes: 1. The windows automatically start closing immediately after the car key is turned off and removed; 2. The windows automatically start closing after the car key is turned off, removed, and the driver's door is closed; 3. The windows automatically start closing when the remote control is pressed after the car key is turned off and the door is closed.
Regarding the setup of automatic window closing when locking the Corolla, I'm sharing from a technical enthusiast's perspective: Most modern Corolla models have this feature, but it's not enabled by default. First, with the vehicle powered on, navigate to the settings menu on the central control screen, find the 'Vehicle Settings' or 'Comfort Features' option, and then enable 'Automatic Window Closing When Locking.' For newer models, you can directly press and hold the lock button on the key fob for 3 seconds to trigger the automatic window closing. If your car doesn't respond, it may require programming activation at a dealership using professional tools, or you can purchase an OBD device to modify the code yourself. This feature is very practical because I often forget to close the windows, and rainwater entering the car can damage electronic components. I recommend checking the settings monthly to ensure they function properly. Older Corolla models may require installing a control module, which is affordable and can be done by those with strong DIY skills. In summary, prioritize trying menu settings or key operations for convenience and safety.
I'm speaking from personal experience: I encountered this issue before when driving a Corolla, and the setup was quite simple. Start the car's power but don't start the engine, then open the central control screen and go to 'Settings.' Select the 'Doors and Windows' section and enable the 'Automatic Window Closing on Lock' feature. Once done, when you lock the car by holding the lock button on the key fob for a few seconds, the windows will automatically roll up. If the option isn’t on the screen, try inserting the key into the ignition and repeatedly pressing the lock button five times to reset the system. Once, I forgot to close the windows, and rainwater seeped in—fortunately, this setting saved me from repair hassles. Always check the key fob battery to ensure stable signals. I recommend new owners first check the user manual or ask the dealership for help activating it to avoid incorrect triggers. Automatic window closing prevents thieves from reaching in or weather-related damage—it's very convenient.
