Wales Drivers side window opening

Hi All......can someone help......!!!

My drivers side window keeps on opening...i have been to my dealer and he said that it is part of the comfort opening which you activate off the key ( easy access opening ).

The problem that i am having is that i am activating the window somehow ....does anyone know the combination to use as my dealer is baffled

Comfort opening is activated by holding down the open button on your key but how is easy access opening activated.......

Please HELP...!!!!!

"Easy access opening"?! Any kind of opening you do via remote or the key opens both windows...

Is JUST your drivers side window opening, and when is this happening (are you in the car, out of the car, near the car....)?

Just the driver's door? Easy access opening I've not heard of. My car had a problem with the BCI (body computer interface) and the door actuator that had the window opening, closing, unlocking the door etc. Search faults and fixes for 'christine' (think Stephen King's car horror) and you'll see similar.

That said, I did have it unlock a few times by pressing the key button by accident in my pants so try leaving the key fob on a desk or dresser and see if it happens there or just while in a pants pocket. If just in a pants pocket then don't wear such tight trousers ;-)

So you unlock it (via the remote), and that's OK, it's actually when you "pull the trigger" on the door the window just unwinds all the way? Sounds like eithe the computer's gone nuts, or something is wrong with the window mechanism. Of course the window should drop a fraction, then raise again when you close it so it misses the "door frame", it sounds like it's just not stopping.

It happened again tis morning...but i can't figure out the combination....i open the car via the remote key....then i opened the passenger door to put my bag in the car.....then i opened my drivers door and BINGO....the window went all the way down......only option is i think to clear the keys memory and install agian...

Is this meant to be a feature?
Drivers window opens on its own when opening the door.
Its happened a few times to me, but I'm pretty sure I'm not touching the remote, as I'm just getting out or into the car.
