i dont usually drive with the windows open while the HVAC is still running, and even if it was activated, instead of wasting 4 seconds holding down the tunnel mode button (recirc).. yes, four seconds.. mine is a bit iffy that way, I just take my left hand and pull up all four windows using the driver side controls.. one finger for each control (wait.. that's only four fingers.. er... 
)
that would take less than a 1 second to auto-up all four. i dont have a sunroof anyway

it figures you have no roof. HVAC doesn't NEED to be on.

when smokes starts entering the cabin, i either click the recirculation button or the activated charcoal button...vola all windows close and the sunroof closes. Click it again, all windows and the sunroof go back to the exact opened position (I remembered it did, I hope)

Sometimes I'm a bit too late hitting "tunnel" so some unpleasant stuff gets stuck inside for a short time (no charcoal filters in our 230).

It works nice for closing everything at once when you part the car.

Is there anyway to re-program the electonics so the Sunroof also closes and opens during the Tunnel mode sequence? That is annoying.. If i am going to have my windows down, then the sunroof would natuarally be open as well.

I think someone said it takes 4 seconds to bring up all windows so it was easier to just do it manualy. Either way is good but the reason i like the feature is when im pimping the car. U know when u have all 4 windows half down, sun roof up, then u have to close everything so u do,but when u open it back up it goes to the exact location. Pretty cool feature. I just wish when you turn your car off and back on it will also remeber the last window setting but it doesnt.
