What is the activation method for the RAV4 one-touch window lift?

On the driver's side window control button, there is the word "AUTO". A quick press allows you to stop at any time, while a long press will fully raise or lower the window. Below is relevant information: 1. One-touch window lift means that when the vehicle's computer receives a signal from the window lift button (usually when the window switch is released immediately after being lifted) for a duration shorter than the preset time, it sends a continuous command to the window motor to lift the window until it is fully closed. If the window switch is lifted or pressed again during the lifting process, the window movement will stop. Nowadays, most mid-to-high-end models are equipped with the one-touch window lift function, primarily for the convenience of drivers and passengers, and to avoid distractions caused by operating the windows, thereby improving safety. 2. With ordinary power windows, you need to hold the switch until the window reaches the desired position, then release the button to stop the movement. Cars equipped with one-touch window lift have a two-stage window control switch. The first stage operates like a regular power window. The second stage, when pressed and released, will automatically fully open or close the window.
Activating the RAV4's one-touch window lift feature is actually super simple. I found that following fixed steps gets it done. First, turn the car key to the ON position without starting the engine, which allows access to the vehicle's power system. Then, select the window you want to set up, such as the driver's side window, and pull the window switch all the way up without letting go. Hold this position for about two seconds, and you'll hear or feel a slight click indicating the system has memorized this position. After releasing, give it a try: a light press upward on the switch will make the window rise to the top with one touch. If it doesn't respond, the switch might be loose or have poor contact—just try again. Remember to set each window individually to avoid mixing up the order. Once set up, driving becomes much more convenient as you won't need to hold the switch continuously, preventing distraction from prolonged operation. The key is to patiently hold for those few seconds—I didn't succeed the first time because I was in a hurry, but after a couple more tries, it worked fine.
