Thanks for the tip cpbmd....I've been trying to shut that off for a week now!

Yes, this can be performed by the dealer. Also, when locking the car and holding down the button the windows will close. Just be nice during your next service and they may do it for free.

I can't quite see the value when unlocking the car. Now, a lot of cars have a feature that lowers the windows when locking the car. The better implementations lower the window only a fixed distance that retains security, say two inches. But I don't think I've ever seen a car locally that lowered the windows when being unlocked. Conversely, we wouldn't have any use for a "close the windows when you get out" feature. Perhaps someone in San Diego or the South of France would like that.

Of course, we live in a very hot desert. Leaving the windows up while the car is parked not only dries and cracks the interior soft goods, but it also creates a nice toasty interior around 140 F. It's a pain to forget while locking up and have to get back in and insert the key to lower the windows a touch. But when getting in the car, it takes about half a second's pressure on the switches to start both windows going down all the way. That means the gain from an 'automatic' key fob lowering is minimal at best, whereas the cost of accidentally enabling that feature on a rainy winter day... Well, doing it once would overwhelm any pleasure I ever got from doing it on hot Summer days.

Don't think I'll be asking the dealer to program this one,

This feature comes with the power seat option. Without power seats, you can get this feature by installing a SmartTop device.

For some reason, this feature doesn't work on my 06 C2S cab, whereas it did on my 05 C2S cab. I believe the 06 had some minor difference in electrical system that causes this.

Power seat option or memory seat option or are they the same. I thought you needed the memory seats for the mirror tilt.

When low on fuel, it gives a very poetic warning about it.

I believe all seats with full power adjustment also have memory function. But you're correct, it is the seat memory function that provides passenger mirror tilt when reverse gear is selected. I love it, as it helps prevent curb rash when parallel parking. (I set the mirror so I can see my rear wheel).

the passenger side window is not 1 touch?

jhbrennan

1 touch down, not up until you get past the half way point - it's in the owner's manual.

Hey Gary,

My 2 cents....When I leave a building and get within sight of my car, I unlock and lower the windows. It's sort of hot here in FL.

I'm reminded of two young lieutenants who happened to be in a public restroom at the same time. As they zipped and started to leave, the first turned to the sink, muttering: "Huh. At West Point, they taught us to wash after peeing." As he opened the door, the other responded: "At Annapolis, they taught us not to pee on our hand."

In the Mojave, we lower our windows before we leave the car so it never gets that hot in the first place.

Gary, just saying, not objecting to autre temps autre moeures

One touch up and down on the cab. At least it is on the 06S. Why they would make the coupe any different, who knows.
