How do I close all windows on my Honda CR-V?

The quickest answer is practical and simple: lock the doors with the key fob and hold the Lock button for about two seconds to automatically close all windows; you can also close them from inside using the window switches. This feature is standard on many CR‑V models, but it can vary by year and trim, so consult your owner’s manual if in doubt.


This article explains how to close all windows on a Honda CR‑V, whether you’re away from the car using the remote or inside the vehicle using the power window switches. It also covers year-to-year variations and quick troubleshooting tips.


Remote window closing with the key fob


Use the key fob to close all windows when you’ve locked the doors and want to secure the vehicle quickly. The following steps are designed for the remote closing feature that many CR‑V models offer.



  • Lock the doors with the key fob.

  • Within a few seconds, press and hold the Lock button on the fob for about 2 seconds to roll up all windows automatically.

  • If your CR‑V is equipped with a sunroof, it may also close when using this feature; otherwise, only the windows will operate.

  • Wait for the lights or horn chirp (if equipped) to confirm the windows have closed and the doors are locked.


Most CR‑V models that support remote window closing will complete the process as long as the feature is enabled by factory settings or through the owner’s manual configuration. If it doesn’t work, verify the feature is installed and that the fob battery is fresh.


Closing windows from inside the vehicle


If you’re near the car or prefer manual control, you can close the windows from the driver’s door using the power window switches. This method works even if the remote close feature is unavailable or not enabled.



  • Turn the ignition to ON or ACC as required for your model to enable window operation.

  • On the driver’s window switch, press and hold the up (toward you) position until the window is fully closed. If your car has one-touch up, a brief lift and hold will close the window automatically.

  • Repeat for each passenger window using their respective window switches.

  • Release the switch once the window is fully closed to prevent over-travel or damage.


Using the interior controls ensures you can close all windows without relying on the fob or external conditions. For models with one-touch functionality, a quick lift-and-hold action can speed up the process.


Compatibility and year-to-year variations


Honda has offered remote window closing on many CR‑V generations since the mid-2010s, but features can vary by market, year, and trim level. If you don’t see the remote window close behavior, check your owner’s manual under the keyless entry or remote functions section, or contact a Honda dealer for confirmation on your specific year and trim.


Tips for reliability and safety


- Ensure the key fob battery is fresh for reliable remote operation.

- When using the interior switches, avoid forcing windows if you sense resistance; that could indicate an obstacle or a misalignment.

- If you recently serviced the vehicle or replaced the battery, you may need to recalibrate the window position by fully closing and then fully lowering each window a couple of times.


Troubleshooting quick answers


If remote closing isn’t working:
- Check the fob battery and try again.

- Confirm your model supports remote window closing in your market and year.

- Verify no settings are disabled in the vehicle’s software or owner’s manual procedures.


Summary


Closing all windows on a Honda CR‑V can typically be done quickly with the key fob by locking the doors and holding the Lock button for about two seconds, or manually from the driver’s door using the window switches. The exact behavior depends on the model year and trim, so if in doubt, consult the owner’s manual or contact a Honda dealer for model-specific guidance. Regular checks ensure both convenience and security are maintained when you leave the vehicle.
