Resetting Lexus Windows After Battery Change
Changing the battery in your Lexus can interrupt the power supply to various systems, including the power windows. As a result, the automatic window function may not operate properly. To restore this function, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Turn the Ignition to ‘On’
Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ‘On’ position without starting the engine. This will power up the vehicle’s electrical systems, including the window controls.
Step 2: Roll Down the Window
Press and hold the power window button to roll down the window completely. It is essential to hold the button until the window is fully open.
Step 3: Roll Up the Window
Now, pull up on the power window button to close the window. Do not release the button when the window reaches the top; instead, keep holding the button for an additional one to two seconds.
Step 4: Test the Auto Function
After rolling the window up, release the button and then press it down again to engage the automatic function. The window should now roll down on its own when you press and release the button quickly. Pull the button up to close the window and ensure it automatically rolls up as well.
Step 5: Repeat for Other Windows
Repeat the steps for each window in the car. It’s important to reset each window from its own door’s control, not just from the driver’s master control panel.
Additional Tips
- If the windows do not reset properly on the first try, repeat the process ensuring the button is held for a couple of seconds after the window is fully closed.
- Some Lexus models may require a slightly different approach. If these steps do not work, refer to your owner’s manual for model-specific instructions.
- If after several attempts the windows are still not functioning correctly, consult with a Lexus dealership or a qualified automotive technician for assistance.
Following these steps should restore the automatic function to your Lexus windows after a battery change. Remember, maintaining synchronization with the window’s automatic function is not only convenient but also an important safety feature of your vehicle.
