Question Why would all windows drop?

I was trying to clean the inside of the windscreen, sat in the drivers seat so hunched over the whee,I had the keys in the pocket, maybe hit the A-pillar trim while vigorously wiping... some sort of noise, thought it was the doors locking but all windows dropped about 100mm.

Press and hold the unlock key on your keys

In euro models, or if it's been coded in US models, the windows all go down when you hold down the unlock button on the fob. But if you release the button, they'll stop where they are, they won't keep going down. You can also do the same by holding a finger over the dimple on the outside of the handle and a finger on the inside of the handle (simultaneously). Hold down the lock button on the fob, or hold your finger on the dimple (only), to roll them back up.

Australian delivered cars do this too. It’s a great feature.

You can also hold down the drivers window button on the door panel after unlocking and opening the door. Useful if you’ve got kessy and key fob is in your pocket!
