what kind of weather was it in??? i dunno if ppl know this... but when its sunny and ur car gets hot inside... it builds up pressure... i know some of the saabs @ work do this to prevent windows breakingg for example... if u dont know u have a cracked windscreen... simply closing all the windows in the sun will be enough for, when u get back, to notice that ur windscreen isnt there anymore... ive seen this plenty of times... Maybe, BIG maybe... its fitted with the same pressure sensor as the saabs and allows the windows to open slightly to allow pressure and heat to be removed from the vehicle b4 causing any damage...
There is a vent for the cabin behind the rear bumper. So they don't need to wind the windows down.
thats y i dont understand y they would make a simple feature on the key for them to go down, but not one to get them up.
For safety. They make you use the key to wind up:
#1 so you can see if there are any obstructions they may be in the way of the windows.
#2 so you dont wind the windows up if there is a kid/dog/rat in the car that needs to breath or let the heat out.
Well there is a safety feature for that, if the windows are going up and they are being obstructed, the automatically go back down.
This is only on the driver's side window, no where else, not on any of the 3 passengers window. At least this is the case with 2003 & 2004 model. Not sure about the newer model.
Plus, I'm not sure if the auto back down will be activated when you roll up the window using the key (or remote button if euro is built with it)
