ND - One Touch Windows?

Technical Area Body, Interior & Styling

I was just wondering if anyone else has issue with this?  But my ND doesn’t appear to have one touch windows (not even on the driver’s side)?  Is this how it should be or does something need re-enabling?

I’m not so worried about the passenger side but am surprised the driver’s at the very least doesn’t have it (even our Smart ForTwo has drivers)

Am I missing something?

Mine does auto-down on both sides, not auto-up. This is consistent with the manual, which does not mention auto up.

Page 3-35 in the manual describes an “initialisation” procedure which might be needed if the battery has been disconnected.  Here it is:

  1. Close the doors and the convertible top.
    2. Switch the ignition ON.
    3. Make sure that the power window lock
    switch located on the driver’s door is
    not depressed.
    4. Press the switch and fully open the
    window.
    5. Pull up the switch to fully close the
    window and continue holding the
    switch for about 2 seconds after the
    window fully closed.
    6. Repeat Steps 4-5 for the passenger
    power window while seated in the
    passenger seat.
    7. Make sure that the power windows
    operate correctly using the door
    switches.
    After the system has been re-initialized,
    passenger window can be fully opened
    automatically using the master control
    switches.
    If the automatic power window operation
    does not operate normally while the doors
    or convertible top are opened/closed, reset
    it using the previous procedures.

One touch to put the windows down. You need to keep your finger on the button (pulling up) to put them up.

Sorry guys, I’ve realised my mistake now.  It is one-touch UP I am referring to.  Hoping there is some way of retro-fitting it.

My Rf is one-touch down, press-and-hold up too.

 

I don’t know if it is relevant but years ago a dealer told me that, to comply with regulations, cars with one-touch-up windows need to be fitted with a detection system so that if someone has their arm/head/whatever trapped the window, the window will stop trying to go up.  He told me this because I was asking about a cheap car that didn’t have one-touch-up windows compared to another car that I was also looking at.  Apparently, at the time at least, the detection system was quite an expensive addition to what was still considered the luxury of electric windows.

 

So, anyway, I wonder if, perhaps, the windows not being auto-up might be due to the omission of a “trapped body part” detection system either for cost cutting or weight reduction?
