first time it happened i took it into the dealers and had a go only to go red faced when they showed me that it was a feature of the car, its for summer use so you can drop all the windows as you walk to the car too cool it down.

That kind of made me laugh, nothing like learning from others. You've all been a great help and have helped me get over the thought someone was trying to steal my car.

yep i also have done it, soaked the car through inside as it was raining and it was left all night with all the windows down,

even now i sometimes still do it as its easy to catch the button when you walk away

I had no idea this was an issue, why doesn't an alarm sound if it's locked with the windows open? Wouldn't all 4 windows open, not just the front two?

Yes, you've leant on the open button on your key fob. I did exactly the same thing about three times last year (once when it was tipping it down with rain...) and got the dealer to deprogram it at the last service.

That makes me feel a lot better, it's due for a service in the next couple of weeks I might mention it then.

Speaking of which, has anyone managed to negotiate on the cost of a service? Mine was done last January but it's only just done over 2000 miles since the last one.

If it's anything like mine try holding the unlock button as you're walking away from the car and you may find that it starts opening the windows? Likewise try holding the lock button down and it should close them again.

I'll have a look at this tonight, it's possible that I knocked the button. To be honest I've never used the remote lock/unlock, always touched the handle to open and pushed the button to lock before walking away.

Hi all,

My first post so be gentle.

I went to use my car last night about 6pm, IS250SE-L 06, it's parked behind the property in a communal resident car park. As I approached the drivers side I noticed the drivers window open by about 1". I thought I must've left it open but then when I got in I noticed the passenger side was at exactly the same place.

Has anyone experienced this? If it's not a fault my worry is that someone has tried to break in but I could see no sign of force against the rubber seals and there's not much they could do without the fob is there?
