Just happened to look outside my office window and noticed all the windows on my '19 Civic Hatchback Sport were rolled down! Rain was in the area, so thank God I noticed before it started to downpour.
So, when I was researching Civics (just bought mine a couple weeks ago) I had read that there was a feature where you can use the FOB to make all the windows and sunroof open at the same time, but I thought that was only for the EX and above. But apparently all trim levels offer this, at least for the 2019 models, because after discovering all my windows down (no sunroof on my car), I remembered that the guy who demonstrated this feature on YouTube said to roll the windows back up, you had to put the key in the driver's door, turn left once to lock and then turn left again and hold the key until the windows rolled back up. Well, that worked. And then I tried the the opening procedure (press unlock on FOB once, then press again and hold) and it worked as well.
But here's the thing - I never did that before (pressed unlock on Fob twice, holding down the second time), so how the heck did the windows roll down earlier? Has anyone else had this happen to them? And these windows were ALL the way down, not opened just an inch or two, so it would have had to be a LONG, deliberate press to make them go all the way down. The only thing I can think of is somehow I inadvertently pressed the FOB against something while seated (I have it on a key ring on a carabiner clipped to my beltloop) - but it would have had to happen twice and kept pressure on it the second time.
P.S. Why didn't Honda just make it so you press the LOCK button twice (holding down the 2nd time) to make the windows/sunroof close)? Seems stupid and illogical that you have to use the physical key to do that. If you can use the FOB to open them, why not to close as well? Strange...
