Window lock button - not the same function as 5th gen

[Nodak]

just a note for people. the window lock button no longer functions the same way it did in the 5th gen. (i found this out on my trip from ND to ATL)

the window lock button only locks out the buttons for all the door switches for all the passenger postions.

the door switch panel for the driver will still roll all the windows down/up regardless of the lock button position.

the only caveat is that the rear liftgate window will lock and the overhead switch will not work if the master window lock switch is engaged.


i really dont like this new function of the master window lock switch. i loved how if it was engaged in the 5th gen, even the driver switches were locked out. that way i couldnt accidently roll them down even a little by accident.

the manual confirms that even with the master window lock engaged, the driver buttons still work on all the passenger windows.

I have driven a insane number of different vehicles from almost every manufacturer in the US and never have seen one work that lock out everyone it only ever locked out the rear seats or all the passenger seats. That being said I did typically avoid Toyota rental cars as they were normally the lowest trims and lacked android auto for a LONG time.
