Windows opening mysteriously

[Bearslumber]

Hi,

I have a MG5 EV exclusive. Has anyone experienced the windows mysteriously opening.

I am sure I closed all my windows when I locked the car but when I go back to it they are all mysteriously open.

I'm not sure if I've pressed a key sequence inadvertently or if there is something wrong with my electrics.

Its happened twice now and I'm worried.

I really like the car so I'm hoping it's something I've done inadvertently.

All help is greatly appreciated

Did you know that holding the Unlock and Lock on your key fob opens and closes all windows?

Any other handy tips about the MG5 ?

Reckon you may be applying pressure on the unlock button inadvertently and seemingly it opens the windows.

Never had it happen to me but I'm sure I've read about it here on the forums somewhere.

Like a lot of cars (my previous Skoda had it), if you press and hold the unlock button on the remote it will lower all the windows. If you hold down the lock button it will close all the windows. You have to mind when your keys are in your pocket! I have a keyring Nectar card on my key ring, which blocks the buttons from the other keys.

I worked out what the problem was. I had my keys in my jeans pocket and I must have unwittingly pressed the unlock key.

Thanks for reading

Thanks, that's exactly what happened. I keep my keys in my jeans pocket s all the time. I must have unwittingly pressed the unlock button. I tested it and it's so easy to do.

Many thanks

I position the leather key fob my dealer gave me over the buttons when I have the key in my pocket.

Another reason to buy the Excite

Anyone else ended up with horn beeping because you have leant on the button in your pocket ?

Ah. The 'Find My Car' feature. P41 of the manual. You can turn that off in infotainment.

Is there anyway to disable the window open feature, happened to me today went out to car to find all windows down. Seems a stupid feature to have on a car with keyless entry when the keys more or less live in your pockets

My key lives in a little protective pouch when I'm at home.

Mainly because I used to trigger the alarm or windows open so frequently when I kept it in my pocket

It stops you playing with yourself

Yes , quite a few times, and when l plug in the charging cable, why do it lock the mg5LR sometimes but not always?

If you unlock the car to plug in the cable but dont open a door it will lock up the car again

Yes always get out car, then plug in from garage, then sometimes after it connected doors lock, but not always
