Why doesn't the Kia Sportage automatically roll up windows after locking?
2 Answers
The Kia Sportage does not automatically roll up windows after locking because it lacks this feature. Here are detailed explanations about it: 1. Explanation one: The Sportage is equipped with multiple high-tech features such as hill-start assist and downhill assist systems, fully realizing the vehicle's intelligence. The design of the front face is a highlight of the car, with the elongated lines of the headlights giving a sense of refinement, and when viewed from another angle, the curved shape becomes apparent. 2. Explanation two: With body dimensions of 4400x1855x1660mm, it fits the standard size of a city SUV and is larger than the previous generation Sportage.
I recently encountered a similar issue—it might be that the auto window-close feature upon locking was accidentally disabled. In the Kia Sportage, many models have this function, but it needs to be manually enabled in the vehicle settings. Go into the settings menu and check the window-related options to see if auto window-close is selected. If the settings are correct, it could be a faulty window motor or poor wiring contact; these parts are prone to wear over time, leading to signal transmission failure. Another common cause is low battery in the remote key, which affects signal-triggered auto window-close. I recommend first rebooting the vehicle system—turning it off and waiting a few minutes before restarting can sometimes fix minor temporary glitches. If that doesn’t work, it’s best to have a technician scan for error codes with a diagnostic tool rather than tinkering yourself to avoid accidents. Regular maintenance of window tracks can prevent such minor issues—after driving for a few years, you’ll learn that checking these small details saves a lot of hassle.
