Default Passenger window not auto-upping... sort of.

Auto-upping.... is that a real word?

2009 C2S Coupe.

Actually, it will auto-up but not until the window is about half-way up, then it goes. Really really annoying. Anybody experience this?

Peace
Bruce

Passenger's window is "auto-up" only after it reaches the half-way point.
That's the way Porsche designed it to work on the coupes.
I'd guess they consider it a safety issue, but other Porsches (Boxster, Cayenne) do not have this "feature," so, who knows?

Read your owner's manual. Lots of other interesting things there.

And I'm sure Porsche considers it a "feature" as well. LOL. But yes... that's normal and I have that PITA feature as well in my car. Perhaps it'll be useful when I start seeing grand kids but then again I'd have to put them in the back seat until they're much older. Grrrr.

Yes, you are all correct, it is on page 26 of the manual. But please, before you invoke the "F" part of RTFM, I did. Actually a bunch of times. So, now you are free to conclude either I am a dope, or the manual is poorly written and too dense to find stuff. I will leave that conclusion to you.

Oh, and you are also free to invoke the "wisdom of the engineers" or the "wisdom of the lawyers" either of which their art is beyond my little mind.

But thank you very much for your answers and your patience!
