  • Power window operation from key buttons

    Hi All,

    Love my new RS. I'm sure we're going to be very happy together. I'm still going through the manuals and getting used to things. My wife bought a Golf VI Comfortline TDI last year, and while there are a lot of familiar bits and similarities there are also some things quite different.

    One thing someone might be able to advise on is the operation of the power windows via the key buttons. On the Golf you hold the lock/unlock buttons down and all of the windows close/open. On the Skoda I can only lower the driver's door window via the key unlock button.

    The manual says it should operate the same as the Golf, but I can't get it to do so. The book also says that I can close the sunroof via the locking button on the key.

    So in summary here's what's going on,

    - I can open only the driver's door window by holding the unlock button down
    - I can close all windows and the sunroof when I hold the lock button down.

    And yes, the window deactivation button on the drivers door is positioned to enable all windows to be operated at the doors.

    It's not much of an issue with winter coming on, but I'd like to get it sorted out none the less. On a hot summer day it's great to crank all the windows down before getting into the car. The reduction in internal temperature is huge and immediate.

    Any help appreciated, as always.

    There will be a setting in the MFD/display in the dash set to drivers door and not "all" change that and it will open all

      have a look in your settings on your maxidot. I believe there is a feature on there for single window or all window function. Mine works, hold unlock and they all eventually come down.

        woofy & dru,

        One thing I was almost certain of was that the fault was due to Operator Error. I've changed the setting and problem solved. Another case of easy when you know how.

        Like I said, I'm still getting used to things. It wouldn't have thought it a major addition to the printing costs to insert a line in the "Window convenience operation" section of the manual about selecting "All" or "Driver" in the MFD settings.

        Thanks a lot for the help.

          Wait till you find the auto close function when it rains unexpectedly.

            I found that one while resetting the window operation. It has been set to Off. It would do my head in if its anything like the wiper sensor auto-operation.

              the "rain auto-close" function is awesome.

              if u leave windows slightly, or completely open, cause its friggin hot, lock the car & walk away - u have nothing to worry about if it starts suddenly/unexpectedly raining! cause the rain sensor will detect the rain & immediately close all windows.
              u don't have to do a thing

              just make sure its activated via maxidot, and set the wiper stalk to position "1" (auto speed).

                I don't think you even have to do that? Mine does it no matter what... But as you said, it's such an excellent idea that should be standard on all cars really (same with Global Close).

                  And sunroof if you have one.
                  Like all things Skoda it seems a bit variable. Mine has never failed to close when it's rained but it has also closed everything up from time to time on days when the only rain would be sweat dripping from somebodies forehead.

                      Like I said, I've deactivated the rain auto close. Sometimes my wipers go nuts on nice sunny days when a single drop comes from somewhere. If the windows all closed while my dog had his melon head hanging out the back it wouldn't be pretty.

                        The auto close does not work while the car is being driven, I don't think it even works with the key in the ignition and I hope that you are not saying that you leave your dog unattended in the car on hot days.

                          I'm pretty sure the windows stop when they sense an obstruction.

                            i'm pretty sure the "rain closing" function, set via maxidot (comfort menu), is different to "auto wipers" function, set via the wiper stalk.

                            for the rain-closing to function, if activated, the car needs to be parked & locked. it won't work while ur driving, nor will it activate the wipers. the only relation is that they share the same sensor to detect rain & how much.
                            if ur dog's melons, or other bits, r sticking out the window, as brad mentioned, it will detect an obstruction and stop. presuming ur dog hasn't drooled over the car, the rain will then proceed to drench the inside of ur car!

                            for the auto wipers to work cause the guy infront of u broke a sweat in his car, u need to set the wiper stalk to position 1. having the "rain closing" turned on won't trigger this.

                            rosie - do u know u can "adjust" the sensitivity of the auto-wipers by adjusting the dial thingy ontop of the wiper stalk. towards the left = least sensitive; towards the right = very sensitive. i've got mine set 1 left from the middle.
                            seems 2 b well behaved there.

                              So many things I'm learning about the old banger on this forum. I knew about the windows closing in the rain, but not opening / closing using remote. That's handy.
                              I also have auto wipers coming on in bright sunshine sometimes (I lean towards the lower sensitivity settng). They need to work on them a bit.
