I have been driving a works vehicle which the central locking remote doesn't work, so I have had to open and lock the drivers door by inserting the key into the lock and turning.
This has become a habit and I now find myself doing this on my own car despite the remote controlled central locking working fine.
On friday night as I unlocked the car by key I accidentally pressed the remote lock button on the key. This caused the drivers door window motor to activate and fully open the window.
Not entirely sure what the point of this feature is, as it makes no reference to it in the owners manual, and I think the deadlocks were still active preventing you from opening the door from the inside, although it would let you put the key in the ignition and turn it which does switch off the deadlocking.
posted this here hoping for an explanation or for the convenience of someone who may be having difficulty getting into their motor.

i know on the golf you can activate the s,roof,windows,even when the vehicle is locked by holding down the buttons on the remote for a certain amount of time?
Dont know if this is common on VAG cars.
Useful i suppose if you forgot to shut the s,roof or the window before locking the car!!

Skoda as well - confused the hell out of the aged parent when she had one. Pointless.

VW Group models with remote central locking, as with a number of other marques, allow you to turn and hold the key from a front door lock (and/or the boot in the case of my Bora) to close open windows and/or sunroof before finally locking the vehicle.
It doesn't work with the single press to lock on the remote control fob itself.

Does on my golf!!

In fairness the VW remote control fobs can be programmed for various modes such as one press to just open the driver's door, two for all doors but, unfortunately, my local dealership hasn't a clue as to how to get any others...:-(
Even after pointing out that the manual specifically states that various modes can/could be introduced, I was looked at with blank expressions.
