Default Back Window - Independent Operation?

The manual makes a few references to the tailgate window operating independently of the tailgate itself.
Our '06 does not do this. And during our search for a car, I never saw the feature on any other Cayenne, either.
Does anyone's back window open separately from the tailgate? On the Turbo, maybe?
Or, is this something (like "sunroof delete" on the 997) that is not available on this side of the Atlantic?

this could prove embarassing... uh-hum -- underneath the rear wiper pivot point (press button up) is the button to operate the glass portion of the tailgate.. push and it will open.. I have an '06... also prepare for some snide comments... there is no other way to operate it.. plus be prepared for other comments relating to spontaneous opening of such said window during flight.

Doesn't this then lead to a discussion of how the rear window release button on the inside of the driver's door doesn't work properly? I think it does...

It's an option that comes standard on all CTTs. I have a friend in your area who'll come over and do a retrofit for under 1k. Let me know if interested.

Sorry, guys.
But, when I took delivery of the car (CPO at dealer), no one went over the features with me so, I've been workin' my way through the manual.
