Ever wished you could air out your Infiniti before even getting in, especially on a hot day? Many Infiniti owners are surprised to learn that their key fob has a hidden feature that allows you to remotely open and close your vehicle’s windows. This convenient function can dramatically improve your driving experience, offering both comfort and a touch of modern automotive luxury. Let’s dive into how you can activate this feature on your Infiniti.
Step-by-Step Guide to Opening Windows with Your Infiniti Key Fob
Opening your Infiniti windows with the key fob is a simple process once you know the trick. Here’s how to do it:
-
Unlock Your Doors: Begin by unlocking your Infiniti doors using the “UNLOCK” button on your intelligent key. This is usually the button with the open padlock icon. Ensure your vehicle is unlocked before proceeding to the next step.
-
Press and Hold “UNLOCK”: After unlocking, press and hold the “UNLOCK” button again for approximately 3 seconds. Keep the button pressed until you see your windows begin to open.
-
Stop Opening (Optional): If you want to stop the windows from opening further, simply release the “UNLOCK” button.
-
Full Opening: If you stop the window opening process midway by releasing the button, and you wish to open them fully, release the “UNLOCK” button and then press and hold it again until the windows are completely open.

Step-by-Step Guide to Closing Windows with Your Infiniti Key Fob
Closing the windows remotely is just as easy as opening them. Here’s the process:

-
Press and Hold “LOCK”: Once the doors are locked, immediately press and hold the “LOCK” button again for about 3 seconds. Continue holding until the windows start to close.
-
Stop Closing (Optional): If you need to halt the window closing process, release the “LOCK” button.
-
Full Closing: Similar to opening, if you stopped the closing process prematurely, release and then press and hold the “LOCK” button again until the windows are fully closed.

Troubleshooting: Windows Not Responding to Key Fob Commands?
If your Infiniti windows are not responding to the key fob commands, it might indicate that the power window automatic function needs to be initialized. This can sometimes happen after a battery disconnection or electrical system adjustments. Here’s how to initialize the power window system:
-
Turn Ignition ON: Enter your Infiniti and push the ignition switch to the “ON” position without starting the engine (typically, press the start button once without pressing the brake pedal).
-
Close the Door: Ensure the driver’s side door is fully closed.
-
Open Window Completely: Using the power window switch on the door, open the driver’s side window all the way down.
-
Close and Hold Switch: Pull the power window switch upwards to close the window completely, and continue to hold the switch in the upward position for an additional 3 seconds after the window is fully closed.
-
Release Switch: Release the power window switch.
-
Test Automatic Function: Operate the window using the automatic function to confirm that the initialization process is complete. Try the key fob window open/close functions again.
-
Repeat for Other Windows: If necessary, repeat steps 2 through 5 for any other windows that are not functioning correctly.
If, after performing this initialization procedure, your Infiniti’s power windows still do not operate automatically with the key fob, it is recommended to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified Infiniti technician or dealership. There might be a more complex issue requiring professional attention.
Conclusion
The ability to control your Infiniti’s windows with the key fob is a valuable feature that adds convenience and comfort to your vehicle ownership experience. By following these simple steps, you can easily open and close your windows remotely. And if you encounter any issues, the power window initialization procedure can often resolve them. Enjoy this feature and make the most of your Infiniti!
