Citroen C3 Picasso - "Window Open" alarm - rogertb

I've noticed this in other cars but given this new C3 has electric windows in the rear I'm surprised that it's so easy for a passenger to leave a window open and me not notice and there's no alarm ... warnings for everything else go off constantly but not this most important thing ... am I missing something ?

I am yet to use a car that warns you if the window has been left open

First car we had with electric back windows was a 1989 Bluebird and like every car we have had with electiric rear windows it did not have a warning light.

Guess the manufacturers presume you will use common sense and check, its not a safety issue like having an open door or flat tyre is it.

Leaving one of the rear windows even slightly open will give the car a different sound inside. Unless you have the radio on full blast,it`s easy to tell.

I could do with one! I regularly leave windows a bit open.

a visual check usually does the trick.

all these !warnings" and notifications add complexity to the wiring.

The one I really hate.. the tyre pressure monitoring system seems to have a mind of its own.

Press and hold the lock button the keyfob when leaving the car. It will put up all the electric windows.

My current car has manual rear windows, so I can't disable them like electric ones.

Grandkids can just reach the winders with their feet when they're strapped in and tend to open them a little.

Lost count of the times I've soaked the back seat when hosing down the car for washing!

That works on VAG cars but it does not work on Kia's, Nissans etc. No idea about Citroens.

I think it's a VAG feature. Certainly not been present on Xantia and 2*Berlingo I've had since 2000.

It might be the year. It works on most Peugeots since 2003, Citroens vary, but they do share the same BSI.

Nice to see all the interest, just to confirm the key fob trick doesn't work in the C3 Picasso (66) sadly.
