Windows Global Close (for USA vehicles)

Windows Global Close

Remote window & sunroof closure convenience feature for USA-specification Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles.

📋 Product Description
Windows Global Close is a premium convenience feature available on select USA-market Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR) vehicles. This intelligent function allows the driver to remotely close all power-operated windows and the panoramic sunroof (if equipped) simultaneously with a single, sustained action — either via the key fob or through the InControl Remote smartphone application. Designed with both convenience and security in mind, Windows Global Close ensures that your vehicle's cabin is fully sealed at the touch of a button. Whether you've exited the vehicle and realized a window was left open, or you want to secure the interior from inclement weather, this feature provides peace of mind without requiring you to re-enter the vehicle or cycle the ignition.
💡 Note: This feature is standard on most JLR vehicles equipped with power windows all-around and keyless entry with remote central locking.
Availability may vary by trim level, model year, and optional equipment packages. Some base trims may require activation via the vehicle's settings menu or a dealership-enabled configuration.

The system integrates seamlessly with the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM) and Central Junction Box (CJB), utilizing the existing CAN-bus network to command all window regulator motors and the sunroof drive assembly in a synchronized closing sequence. Anti-pinch safety protocols remain active during global close operation, ensuring compliance with USA federal motor vehicle safety standards.

⚙️ Function & Operation

The Windows Global Close feature operates through two primary methods, both designed for intuitive, user-friendly interaction:

🔑 Method 1 — Key Fob Activation
Ensure the vehicle is turned off and all doors are closed.
Press and hold the LOCK button on the Jaguar or Land Rover key fob.
Continue holding for approximately 3–5 seconds.
All side windows will begin to close in sequence, followed by the sunroof (if equipped and open).
Release the lock button once all windows and the sunroof are fully closed, or press any button to interrupt the operation.

⚠️ The global close function respects the anti-trap / anti-pinch safety system. If resistance is detected, the window or sunroof will stop and reverse slightly to prevent injury or damage.

📱 Method 2 — InControl Remote App (if equipped)
Open the Jaguar InControl Remote or Land Rover InControl Remote app on your paired smartphone.
Navigate to the “Remote” or “Vehicle Controls”</> section.
Tap the “Close All Windows” or “Global Close” icon.
Confirm the action if prompted (PIN or biometric authentication may be required).
The vehicle will receive the command via the embedded telematics module and execute the global close sequence.
🔄 Operation Sequence: Front windows → Rear windows → Sunroof (if open).
The system prioritizes larger windows first to minimize the time the cabin remains exposed.
