Default Remote Opening of Windows Without Opening Sunroof?

Is it possible to use the remote to open just all 4 windows WITHOUT opening the sunroof?

I've been using this function a lot in the summer time as it's been hotter than he11. I love the idea of opening all the windows for ventilation, but I hate idea of the hot sun blaring from above and into my seat...kind of defeats its purpose....

Nope, all or none. Not a big deal for me because it is just a quick ventilation before I run the AC.

Has anyone noticed that the auto open button for the sunroof only takes it so far? If you press the open button again, the sunroof will open more.

I do appreciate the partial open and what seems to be a slight delay in opening of the sunroof. At least I can crack the windows open without the sunroof opening too much.

I just tested my auto versus manually holding the button and have the same results. Manually holding the button only takes it to the auto position. Press open again and it will open about 2 inches more.

Several manufacturers do that. It varies in intensity by vehicle, but it helps with wind/pressure buffeting at highway speeds.

I had this problem when i first tried to use the sunroof, It would not close no matter how much i played with the buttons. I finally figured it out that when you are trying to fully close the sunroof, you have to push the black metal peice down so it closes all the way. I believe after that it will reset itself.
