Strange window behaviour (No, not the key fob!)

Featured Replies

I wondered if aany of you could shed any light on the following?

Last week we were lucky enought to be on holiday in north Cornwall during the only week of summer that we're likely to have! Whilst travelling a narrow twisty road with the front windows open (rears closed), we encountered a car coming the other way, so I had to brake moderately hard, facing down a steep (15%?) slope (to stationary from approx 15mph, 2nd gear). In the process of doing this, the doors locked themselves, and the windows closed. I then realised that the doors locking had been caused by an unopened Coke can falling over on to the door lock button. But this doesn't explain the windows, which I was immediately able to re-open. Any ideas? Is this some form of 'safety feature' because the car thought I was having an accident?

TIA

Did the can remain on the lock button? Not sure if this shuts the windows but it does on the fob.

think adam hit nail on head, if you hold down lock button it closes all the windows.

Ah, that would make sense - I didn't know that the in-car button had the same effect as holding down the button on the key fob.

Thanks,

Sam
