Hmmm Brera window drops when unlocking

After getting my car back last week I know
notice that the drivers window drops about 1/2"
when unlocking the car with the remote.


Normal? Didn't do this before...

Merci Monsieur Nomade.

They must've "upgraded" it.

Re: Brera window drops when unlocking

Yeah,

normal operation! Easier to open/close door by "venting" air through the slightly open window.

Yeah but mine used to drop only when you pulled the door handle.
(As the passenger side still does.)

Anyway, no worries. In the summer I just hold the unlock
down to open the windows fully anyway.

Re: Brera window drops when unlocking

Yep, mine do it too, although probably not as much as half an inch.
If you lock the car up with a window down, & keep pressing the lock button down on the remote (2 seconds or more, I think it is,) it will buzz the window up, & the same goes in reverse for unlocking the doors.
Matt.

Re: Brera window drops when unlocking

Yup the windows-up/down on the remote is one of the sexiest gadgets.

Love opening the frameless doors with the windows wound down.

Surprised you didn't know about them Mr Poser Nomes!

Don't worry, looks like a cliquey Brera-Only thread in here.

Re: Brera window drops when unlocking

Probably opens the SV blind on the red Breras, or something,
so that the roof doesn't look so black.

Re: Brera window drops when unlocking

It does it on my Spider too.

I had the nice man at HRO load the Brera window software on to the ECU.

Normally you cant drop the windows from the remote on the Spider - but I can

Re: Brera window drops when unlocking

Erm you lot will probably call me a wuss for reading the manual as thoroughly as I could on day one, but this is mentioned there.

How many brownie points for that then??
