How to Roll Down the Windows With Your Key Fob

Method 1 Method 1 of 2: Use Your Car’s Key Fob
  1. 1 Press the unlock button on your key fob. Many car models use the key fob’s unlock button to remotely roll down the windows.
    • This feature works on many modern Honda, Ford, and Toyota models.
    • This is a great way to cool down the inside of the car.
  2. 2 Within a couple seconds, press the unlock button again and hold it down. The windows will start rolling down while you hold down the unlock button.
    • Note that some car models may only require pressing the unlock button once and holding it down to roll down the windows.
  3. 3 Release the unlock button when the windows reach the height you want them to stop at.
    • If you want to roll the windows down more, repeat the unlock button procedure.
    • If the windows won’t close after rolling them down, you may need to manually roll up the window.
Method 2 Method 2 of 2: Use Your Car Key
  1. 1 Insert your car key into the driver’s door lock. Some cars (typically older models) may use the physical key to roll all of the windows down.
  2. 2 Turn the key clockwise until it stops. Don’t force the key beyond its stopping point or you may damage your car.
  3. 3 Return the key to the starting position. The key should be in the position it was when you first inserted it.
  4. 4 Turn the key clockwise until it stops. Hold it in that position to begin rolling down the windows.
    • Note that some car models may require that you turn the key counterclockwise to roll down the windows.
  5. 5 Return the key to the starting position. This will stop the windows at the height you want.
