Smile How to close glass window after car is locked in 2013 GS 350

I have 2008 ES 350 which has a button on the door handle where I can close the glass windows after car is locked by holding the button for more than 5 secs or so. Recently I purchased a GS 350 and would like to know if this feature is available in GS 350. If so how can I do this.

Use the mechanical key to turn and hold in the lock position windows should close(assuming your options are set up)

That doesn't work here in the US. On the LS I can hold the door handle lock button and it will roll up the windows. I do not know if that is a feature on the GS but someone should try!

Maybe closing windows with the remote is considered a safety issue.

I just tried this afternoon holding the door handle lock button. It wouldn't fold up.

LS is very classy car but I can't afford it. Enjoy!

Is till the same car. Don't know why they want to take away the convience from you guys there. Maybe it is really a safety issue in the US.

We don't know how to close windows without chopping our fingers off apparently.

I'm guessing they are concerned about the fingers of someone else in the car...like maybe a small child.
