Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Ask a Toyota dealer to enable the wireless-remote linked power-window operation; also request moonroof/panoramic-moonroof linkage if that roof is equipped.
- 02
Before operating it, make sure every occupant is clear of the windows and roof opening.
- 03
With the vehicle parked, press and hold the key-fob UNLOCK button.
- 04
Continue holding while the side windows and equipped roof open; release when the desired opening is reached.
- 05
If the mechanical-key linkage was also enabled, turning and holding the key toward unlock opens the windows, while turning and holding toward lock closes them.
Important limits
- Toyota specifically marks the remote and mechanical-key linked functions as dealer-customized settings.
- Check that no passenger—especially a child—can be caught in a window or roof opening. The driver remains responsible for all remote window operations.
- Closing by mechanical key can trigger the alarm on an armed vehicle. The wireless remote is documented for opening, not remote closing.
Quick checks.
- ✓If holding UNLOCK only unlocks the doors, confirm with a Toyota dealer that wireless-remote window operation is enabled for the vehicle.
- ✓If one window does not move or has lost one-touch operation after battery service, follow the owner-manual window initialization procedure or have Toyota inspect it.
- ✓If operation is inconsistent, try closer to the vehicle and replace a weak key-fob battery.
