Parked at tesco's, no spaces left, so I abandon it with the hazards on.
Come back to the car with shopping, press the alarm off button 4 or 5 times cos I can't see whether the lights are coming on to show it's open (hazards on). Pressing the alram off button 4 or 5 times opens the windows!!!!
Why does it do this? Is there a way to close the windows using the alarm button too?
That's the comfort opening feature - you can get your dealer to disable it. Unfortunately the only way to close them again, is by putting the key in the door lock, turning & holding it in the lock position until they close again (or close them with the switches inside the car)
I think the idea of the comfort opening, is so that you can open the windows before you get into the car, to let the heat escape in the summer month's.
