actually, vinniesabo i just tried it!

i rolled down the front two windows and got out of the car, i locked the car by pressing the black button and then held down the button.

it will make one long beep and then continue holding for about 2-3 seconds and the windows will go up! i held the button down the whole time the windows were rolling up, but don't know if that is necessary or not...

That's good to know but I bet you need to hold down the button.
In Europe and Asia they have features on the key fob that will roll up all of the windows but in the USA they have some kind of legislation that that cripples the ability. Even if a child's hand get caught in the window the motor will sense the load and go in the opposite direction just like a garage door.
We cant have nice things because of stupid people.

At least for the 2007 models, the soft close doors were part of the "One Touch Open/Close Power Trunk & Power Door Closers" option with a MSRP of $395.

I only got this option because of the one touch trunk close. However, I have so much come to appreciate the soft door close. It doesn't happen often, but times when your hands are full and you nudge the door close with your hip, it's nice that the door closes even if you didn't nudge it enough. The alternative used to be putting everything down so you could slam the door!

All great tips ! Thanks. I have the "Comfort Plus" option with power rear seats. Does anyone know why when I press the rear seat adjustment on the center console, the rear head rests go down ?? Shouldn't the seats move ???

The rear seat adjustment button is held down and makes the seats to return to their fully upright position and headrests down. Any reclining must be done from the rear seat controls only.
