Although my vehicle is actually a B class, it does have most of the 'bells & whistles' fitted and I suspect this situation could arise with you guys.
Last week I parked up my car in front of my bungalow and locked it up before retiring inside. Then, by sheer luck, I happened to look outside much later in the evening and realised that all the windows were half open.
When I got back in the vehicle, I found that the visor to the sun roof was also partly withdrawn - I then had to use all the individual buttons to close all the items up again. Having no idea how this had happened I then check several times later to ensure all was well before I retired to bed !
The next day I referred to the Owner's manual - 'Windows' referred me to 'Side Windows' which listed 'Opening/closing all' on page 103. However all I found there was a mass of warnings referring to safety issues and an indication that I would now have to go read the Digital Owners Manual !
Having not used this facility before I then had to undertake an exploratory trip using the central controller knob to eventually discover that I must have accidentally held the 'open' button on my key fob down a little too long !! :frown2:
My comments as a result of this farce are :-
a) BEWARE you do not actuate this situation by accidentally holding that button down without realising all the windows are now in a down position. [It does appear that no form of audible warning will be provided]
b) Do not expect the 300+ pages of the owner's manual to enable you to locate simple pieces of straight forward information without being forced to make reference to the Digital Owners Manual - which is another challenge (especially if you were to undertake this late at night !).
I would of course be happy to hear of any way that this particular 'feature' could be disabled as I certainly have no need of it (I will just 'wind' the windows down individually !).
