Roll down windows from the remote key?
I know many cars have this feature: on a very hot day you approach your car, press and hold "unlock" button for 3-4 seconds and windows are being rolled down. Or when you get off the car and forgot to roll up a window, you can press and hold "lock" key at the remote and windows are being rolled up.
Is it possible to do the same on GLK? Worked once for me but then I tried both unlock and lock keys - didn't seem to work. How can I do this? GLK Canadian, 2010.

On all models or just Canadian? (Which would make sense since we all know how much hotter it is up there than, say, Texas!)

Not completely sure about this, but you need to reprogram the remote key first by holding a few buttons simultaneously. It's in the OM!

It is due to liability issues that it has such a short range.
The way it is set up you have to be close enough to the vehicle to visually make sure you don't close the windows or pano roof on some unsuspecting car thief trying to vandalize your car.
Of course if I did catch someone vandalizing my ride, I would rather use the old rusty pocket knife rather than risk damaging the window.

I'd prefer if it worked from a bit more distance so the car could ventilate as I approached it, but it's still nice to know about.

It's nice to be able to open and close everything with one push of the remote....same feature on all models for quite a while. Re: working from a distance.. I really don't think that the distance/10 seconds extra time that the windows are open will cool down a hot car very much. I actually like being close and watching everything open.

You'll think twice if have something ( or lots of stuff) in there.
Also, open all the windows + tailgate make it even better ventilation.

We do open the tailgate well in advance of arriving with a cart full of groceries. We shop where it isn't a problem from 20'-30' away. An advantage of living in the woods.

If we just shut up and accept what is then we'll never see it or anything improve in near future.
