Hello,

I just got my 2009 RX-8 R3 about 1 month ago and its been 2 times now where Ive walked outside and my windows are rolled down about 12 inches. (Obviously I did not leave them down LOL..)

I was playing with a few buttons on my remote inside the house (Lock and Unlock) and when I walked outside, the windows were down and as I approached the car, the doors locked all of a sudden on there own.

Has anyone else experienced this? LOL. Its very weird.. (I know I didn't leave them down because its below 0C around here and that would be very stupid lol..)


Any help would be nice.

Thanks,

Jason

 

your car is an auto bot

 

LoL Yea no doubt.

I just finished reading through the manual and I found the answer lol. The 2009 is equipped with a Auto-Window Rolldown/Rollup by using the remote to "allow a breeze to enter the car before jumping in"...

lol. Thank anyways for the help..

Page 3-39 For anyone who has an 09 RX-8. LoL

 

what buttons do you press? I dont have an 09, i am just wondering

 

You have to Press the Unlock Button (Doors Unlock), then press and Hold the Unlock again for 4 seconds and they will go down.

To Roll them Up, press and hold the Little Button on the Door Handle till they rollup OR Insert key and turn to the right until they roll up..

 

wow,

a thread started that was answered in the owners manual.. what are the odds!

btw, thanks for finally taking the time to read the owners manual.. you are way ahead of the game now!

beers

 

LoL. Yea. I was going to delete my post but I said I may as well leave it up just incase anyone else runs across this. Initially, I thought it may has been a faulty wiring issue. :-S

Is this new for the 09s or do the 04-08s have it as well? Just curious

 

We ain't got that...............and I really don't want it. Just another way to suck the last remaining milliamps off the battery when you don't expect it.
Keep reading that manual......there is some good stuff in there.
I think you should leave the thread up as well........I can't believe we(or at least I) haven't heard of this with the 09's before now.

 

the 09s have some cool wack stuff. you might read around for double secret probation tricks. i have read they are out.

04. roll down windows..

this might be the best post ever for the owners manual. leave it up!

beers

 

Yes for the owners manual!

 

Are you implying that all models of 04 had roll down windows Swoope?

 

well,

compared to the 09s. yep we are in the dark ages..


have you driven one, the transmission is dreamy!

wait, i have a button for the window.. ****.. damn ac on all the time. duh...

the rears roll down right!?

btw, hows the heel?

beers

 

My wife's CX-9 does that also. Freaked us the hell out the first time it happened!!!

 

Heel is still getting back to normal. Torn tendons around the ankle are still sore but it's 90% there.

Not allowed to wear anything but tennis shoes, not allowed to run, jump, etc, etc, blah.....blah....blah.

Thing that sucks is I got use to wearing shorts to work for six months while in the cast/boot and it was kinda nice!

 

i have had pants on twice in the last 5 years.. damn weddings!

i wear shoes to work..

glad you are getting close to home..

now about that owners manual.. i hear lots of good info in it!


beers

 

its a ghost!! scarrryyy

 

on other cars when you hold down unlock button the windows go down, and when pressing lock down, the windows close.
