wharriso Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Yesterday evening, I checked coolant, topped it off, closed the hood then locked the doors. This morning, I go to the car and see all the windows open and the sunroof open. How could this happen? Is there a combination on the remote that can do this? Could someone have done it from the keypad? It makes no sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17MKZ3.0TT Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 You can double click the Unlock button on the fob, holding the second time for about a 10 count to open all windows at once. On the Pano roof, it also pops up the rear edge in "vent" mode but doesn't slide it back. Don't know what a std sunroof does, but if that's what you have you can find out shortly ?

Press the fob unlock button twice, holding the second press for approximately 5 seconds. All windows open and the moonroof will pop open (with either moonroof). You can release the button at any point after they start moving. If you press again while they are moving, they will stop wherever they are. You can also close all the windows and moonroof by performing the same steps with the LOCK button. Press the fob lock button twice, holding the second press for approximately 5 seconds until the windows and moonroof begin to close. You can release the button at any point after they start moving. If you press again while they are moving, they will stop wherever they are. This is explained in more detail, along with a lot of other features, in the Owners Manual. Good luck.

Yes, with further research I found exactly what you are saying. Wife was mad at me thinking I was just irresponsible and left everything open while it was probably her with all that junk in her pocketbook. Thank you so much!

Yes...lol...while you may never be able to tell her so (unless you are a very brave or very foolish man?), there is a good chance it was something in her pocketbook pressing the button. It has happened once or twice to my wife also. However, I will state that the buttons on the new 2017+ fobs are a bit sensitive. They should have been recessed a bit more. Good luck! wharriso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 This happened to me a lot and since I never actually needed to press a fob button, I got a harder shell case and that solved the issue, here is a link to one type https://www.ebay.com/itm/133695254132?var=433140749372 wharriso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftoverture Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I just had this happen to me at work. I also managed to have the trunk open up. Don't know how long my car was sitting there wide open. wharriso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
