Something New I Just Discovered!
Now this may have been posted a dozen times here (or it may be in the fine print of the owner's manual) -- but if it was I never saw it. I just discovered that when you hold down the "unlock" on the key chain for a few seconds, the windows roll down. Does anyone know a way to roll them back up, without having to put the key in the ignition, which is a pain-in-the-butt if you weren't planning on starting the car.

What? Is this a legal thing? The windows in my Audi A4 open when I hold the unlock button, and close when I hold the lock button. My sunroof is a bit different: it will close with the lock button, but will not open with the unlock button.

The reason they do that is so that you can crack the window open on those hot summer days. ya know the 120 F days.

Sure, remote window control is a great feature! (It's especially great for rolling down all the windows while walking towards the car, so it's cooled down by the time you get to it and have to get in.) But I'm most curious about NUJOYZ's post above about thanking the lawyers for his windows not going up with the remote. Didn't know what that was about.

That is something that your salesperson SHOULD have shown you when you took delivery of your car. It irritates me to see the total ignorance of some of these baffoons that are selling these Z's. My thinking is this: If you do not know the car inside and out, you should not be allowed to sell it! I realize you cannot possibly know everything, but things like this are basic features of the car! Sorry for the rant there. I just think if you are paying the money for these cars, you should at least have someone to go over everything with you when you pick it up!

That feature is actually really good for those of us up north who drive the car in the winter. We can test to see if the windows are frozen before trying to open the door and messing up something...

Brutal but I laughed out loud.
Yes....it's a little tricky, but you have to pull up on the button for a few seconds.

I am glad Robbyn got a straight answer. Remote rolling UP of windows is a severe violation of safety principles.
Much more dangerous than, say, selling a car that tops out at 155 MPH with no Mods.

Although my Z isn't in yet (a long story regarding my Z being held up at the docks), I thought you could auto-roll up the windows, but not via the remote. I thought it works if you lock the doors via the key in the driver's door. (holding it for a few seconds).

the lawyers comment
I'm sure he was refering to windows moving without safety stops.
This is why many cars these days will 'auto' roll a window down, but only nicer cars will auto roll them UP. Because down doesn't require safety stops, but rolling up does. The Z already has safeties for rolling up though.. so I'm not sure why you can't roll them up from the remote.
