This is an option in the Convenience Settings. Holding down the "lock" button will close any open windows and the sunroof. At least, it does on my ED30...

Nope mate, its a standard feature.  Hold the lock button down and all the windows/sunroof will shut, or hold the open button down and they will all open. You have to hold it down for about 2 -3 secs though

It's a cool feature, but when the convenience pack goes - as it did in my old Toledo v5 - you can find yourself coming out of the house one morning to a car full of snow, all the windows having wound themselves down fully, the doors unlocked and the boot open.  Just caught that with the warranty.  Convenience? Aye right...

Well, I was luckier yesterday.
Parked the car on a small street, but forgot to close the drivers window. It was fully rolled down.

Came in the morning and discovered that I had a few fallen leaves on my driver's seat...

Until someone runs after you telling you your windows are open.

These convenience features are pretty good but I'm pretty fed up of people telling my my lights are on when I park.   I've changed the timer to 10 seconds now (from 20) and now I just get - "excuse me, your lig....  oh"
