Q: How do I reactivate the auto-up and auto-down features?

How do I reactivate the auto-up and auto-down features?

The auto-up and auto-down features allow you to entirely roll up or down a power window with one press of a button. Sometimes the auto-up and auto-down functions stop working, and need to be reactivated. To do this, pull the windows switch up all the way, and hold it there; after the window has rolled up entirely, hold the switch for an additional two seconds. Then push the power window switch all the way down; after the window has rolled down entirely, hold down the switch for two more seconds. Now the auto-up and auto-down features have been reactivated.
