You can also roll the windows and sunroof up.

I was using Techstream the other day to adjust some settings. For the auto-rolldown, I set the sunroof to vent mode instead of the default full open mode. For closing, it only works with the manual key so that's not of any value to me to have to pull out that key.
I also adjusted the sensitivity of the auto-darkening of the infotainment screen and instrument panel. I set it so it needed to be a bit darker out before the screen lowers its brightness and there is another setting where you can choose when it goes back to regular brightness.
Also you can do this yourself but you should be able to have them change the turn signal auto-blinks from 3 to 5 or 7 if you want. I like 7. I didn't actually see this setting in Techstream on the GS but I saw it on my NX, where it's not possible as a DIY.

From all the conversations I've seen on here the roll up feature using the remote does not exist on North American versions of the car. The only option for roll up is to use the physical key in the door. I would guess some sort of strange liability issue they were concerned about.

I just did some of these customization by using the Carista app (if you buy the Bluetooth dongle you get 1 month free of the premium version to make changes). I ended up doing the window down/sun roof open with the key fob, and the window up and down using the key (figured better to have it enabled than not), turned off the seat belt warning ding (I always drive with my seat belt so I find that dinging annoying and don't need my car reminding me, lol).
There were a few other things I changed up too and liked that I could do it myself and not have to go to the dealership.

I don't recall the exact sub menu but it remember it was fairly easy to find in the customization section. The sunroof open or vented option with the window rolldown is in a separate menu. I spent a few minutes and flipped through all of the sub-menus to make sure I didnt miss anything.
