Closed windows in the doors will go down slightly when the vehicle is  
unlocked, the door handle is pulled, and after the vehicle key has  
been removed from the ignition .  
For vehicles with the single door unlocking function activated,  
only the window in the driver door will go down slightly when the vehi-  
cle is unlocked from the outside. The windows in the other doors will  
also go down slightly if the vehicle is unlocked a second time.  
If no doors are opened, the windows will close again after several  
seconds. The windows will also close if the door is closed or the vehi-  
cle is locked.  
The windows can freeze to the seals at low outside temperatures and  
prevent the windows from going down when the vehicle is unlocked  
or the door is opened. Do not open the door if the window does  
not go down slightly .  
Lock the vehicle again.

Unlock the vehicle and retry the function.
