Windows down when I went to get it in.

Still not sure where this post should go but I'll go ahead and ask. My windows on both sides were completely down when I returned to the car with groceries. Anyone experienced anything similar?

I'm always ready to assume that I've done something wrong but can't even come up with something I touched accidentally and with winter temps can't imagine rolling them down at anytime. I did fiddle with the lights to make sure my brights etc. were working, earlier today.

Thanks

Your remote might be programmed to lower all windows if the button is pushed in for a few seconds. Mine would lower the windows and open the sunroof. Might want to give it a try to see if that opens both windows. Could be that something just pushed the buttom after you exited the car and put the keys away.

Was thinking the same thing. My windows will open if I hold the unlock button on the key down for a few seconds. Maybe it got squished in your pocket/purse?

Thanks both of you.
The wind was blowing, I dropped the keys on the way to the car and had both hands full. Now I can see how I could have pushed and held the remote without knowing it. This little car keeps me guessing

Any way to close them as well with the remote? I've had my MCS since Oct, & just noticed the remote thing this past Sat.

No way to close with the remote.
I love my Ian's AutoUp Circuit for opening and closing the windows.
I also use it for the garage door opener.

It's not using the remote (Must get an autoup circuit as quikmni mentioned)
but if you put your key in the door & hold it in the lock position, all the windows will close, including the sunroof...doors lock & alarm is activated too.
