You can duplicate the situation by pressing and holding the unlock button. You cannot roll the windows up with the fob, however.

That does not look remotely like the 3RX.
As stated above, there is no closing of windows and moonroof from the remote, only opening.

Default Sunroof open, all windows down - WTF?

Long time listener, first time caller.


A couple of weeks ago we, my wife and I, bought a really nice 2015 RX that only had 18,000 miles. We didn't drive it much because she still had her '03 GX. Well, we sold the GX yesterday, so before I left for work, I backed the RX out of the garage this morning for my wife in case she needed to go somewhere.

I come home this evening and notice that: 1. the sunroof is completely open and 2. all 4 windows are down. Mind you it's cold and blustery here in Cincinnati this time of year.

!!

I asked my wife about it and she said she didn't get out of the house at all and didn't go near the car.

Has any experienced this? Does anyone have any clues as to how this can happen? Did I accidentally hit the secret "open everything" switch when I got out?

Thanks,

-Bob

Default on the key fob can do that. Check our your Owners' Manual, and ask the dealership to re-program your fob.

Thanks!

So it was the secret "open everything" switch (or in this case button). I'll go down now and test it.

Thanks again.

[edit]

Yep, press and hold the unlock button and sunroof and all windows open.

Default Open windows / sunroof with remote?

My wife and I recently purchased a 2015 certified pre-owned RX350. Actually, it hers. She went outside to leave work and found that all of her windows and sunroof were open. I imagine that there is some sort of button combo on her key FOB that did this. Anyone know what the key sequence is to do this? I need to let her know and to put something on it so it doesn't happen to her again.

Thanks

I believe you press the unlock twice and holding it on the second time.

On my 2010, it's just holding down the unlock button. It has to be held down the entire time the windows/sunroof are opening.

Default All windows down and sunroof open but car is locked

This morning I got to the Lexus to see that all the windows and sunroof were open. Yet the vehicle is locked, as evidenced by the auto fold mirrors tucked in.

The vehicle is parked outside, as per usual, and I've not experienced this before. The keys were where they are normally, in a jar at the front of the house.

Anyone experienced this before? It would have been OK except that it did lightly rain, so the interior was a bit wet. Fortunately I do condition the leather seats, and door arm rests so the water was in beads and not soaked in. A quick wipe with an old towel and the interior was nice and clean and dry. Most bizarre though! It wasn't my young child - he doesn't play with car keys.

Try holding the unlock button down for couple of seconds. The glass will move and if you do not open any door, I think the doors will lock themselves up.

Thanks for moving my post to an appropriate existing thread, Salim. I should have done a search before starting a new thread.

Perhaps it must be accidental pressing on the unlock button. I shall disable it just for winter - might be safe to leave it enabled for summer.

It was NOT me this time. We have excellent set of silent mods .. they work quietly.

Default All Windows Down on my Return

Three times recently I have returned to my 2015 RX350 to find all windows down, the rear hatch open, the sun roof open and the doors locked. Has anyone else experienced this problem? The Lexus dealer says it was me.

As written many times above the most common cause of this is accidentally pressing the key fob button without knowing you are doing so. However it is a feature that can be disabled.
Where were the keys when this happened?
