Is this a feature?

So yesterday, in trying to open the driver side rear door, between my 5 yo and me touching it in some combo I do not remember to describe, all four windows rolled down half way in perfect sync. The sunroof didn't move so it was not an inadvertent long unlock button push. Is this a feature, and if so how do I access it again? Or is it some kind of a warning sign?

It's a feature. If you have keyless go option you can press and hold the lock button on the outside of the handle and wait a second, then tap and release the unlock button on the other side of the handle. The windows open halfway and the driver side seat cooler comes on.

Way cool. Is there a trick to make it get 50 MPG?

Thank you. It is cool and I'm impressed to be discovering new features after 3 years of ownership. But I can't replicate it. Any pictorial or feature name so I can get the details ? Much appreciated.
Thx
