How to Set Up Automatic Window Roll-Up When Locking the Passat?
4 Answers
To automatically close the windows when locking the Passat, you can press and hold the lock button on the key or the lock button on the door handle. The function of the remote key is to utilize the wireless remote control feature of the central locking system, allowing you to remotely open and lock the doors without inserting the key into the lock.
My own Passat also has this feature, and it's quite simple to set up. After you get the key, press and hold the lock button for about three to five seconds, and the windows will automatically roll up. If it doesn't work, first check if the key battery has power—it may malfunction when the battery is low. Alternatively, look for the settings menu on the car's central control screen, navigate to the comfort functions section, and enable the 'auto-close windows when locking' option. Many Volkswagen models use this method, which is very convenient—when you park and lock the car, the windows close automatically, preventing you from forgetting to close them and risking rain damage or theft. I've tested it before, and the key operation distance shouldn't be too far—it usually works within one or two meters of the car. If it still doesn’t work after a few tries, it’s best to visit a 4S shop to check for any software bugs.
I remember when I first bought my Passat, a friend taught me how to lock the car and close the windows. It's quite simple—just press and hold the lock button on the remote key for about five seconds, and the windows will automatically roll up. You can also set this in the car by opening the vehicle settings on the display, selecting door locks or comfort settings, and enabling the relevant function. The benefits are enhanced security and convenience—just one press when leaving, no need to run back and forth. Once, I tried it and the key didn't work; turned out the battery was almost dead, but replacing it fixed the issue. It's advisable to regularly check the key and window frames for any dirt or debris that might block them, as this could cause the windows to jam and damage the motor.
Press and hold the lock button for five seconds to automatically close the windows. Key operation is the most straightforward, and the settings can also be adjusted in the central control system menu. Ensure the function works properly; avoid leaving objects on the windows before locking to prevent issues. Maintain key battery promptly to prevent failure.
