Default How do I reprogram the auto up feature on the windows after the battery change?

I did a search and YouTube search and cannot find the method that seems to work on the Jaguar. I did this when I changed it last year and didn't seem to have an issue. I can get the auto down function to work but no the auto up function. This has to be simple but I just can't find the right method. Appreciate any input.

Isn't it documented in your handbook? "Windows reset" in the index.

For my MY18:

1. Close the window fully and release the switch.
2. Lift the switch to the close position and hold for 2 seconds.
3. Repeat this process a total of 5 times.

Repeat for the other window.

I don't think I needed to do that five times when last needed to reset them; otherwise, that's what I did. I was going from memory and think I did this:

Open window fully
Close fully, release switch, hold closed for five seconds
Open fully, release switch, hold open for five seconds
Try one-touch close. If it works, move to next window.

Thanks guys. I apologize I didn't even think of looking at the manual. Honestly just gravitate to YouTube in hopes its posted It was the 5 times at 2 seconds for it to work on my 2016. I swore last year it was just hold closed but just wouldn't work this time around.

As I have commented before this works for me ONLY while the car is in motion (and it takes only one hold of the button not five).
I have tried every which way including five times with the ignition on and the car in Park but still no go, no matter what I do it works only while driving.

I should have tried that method because when I changed the battery last year I know I didn't do the 5 times routine. I "thought" I did what you said but don't recall that I was driving. I must have been because that didn't work for me in just the accessory mode this time.

Ah, yes, the engine running part. I did start the car but with it stationary. Some years ago I got pretty frustrated because it wasn't working with just the ignition on.

What I should have made clearer is even that (engine running and in Park) has never worked for me!
For me it has always been (four or five times now) that it only works while driving.
Some weird glitch I guess.

It was clear to me, but it reminded me that I had the engine running and was in neutral (not in gear). Since I don't have "Park" that might be the difference. If you have to do it again try running but in Neutral?

So you *must* drive the F-Type. Not much of a hardship, really.

I suspect this is typical of low-production models. Mine's not first year of production unless you count having a manual transmission, then it is. A foolish move but I couldn't resist. I've got a motorcycle that is, I think, one of 350. It had some quirks. Some were worked through, others remain, but I'm not planning on getting rid of it or the F-Type.

Lizzardo, your process for resetting the one touch windows up and down worked for my 2017..a big thank you.

Yes mine too, and you have to be going slow. Mine doesn't work when stationary. I feel I look pretty dumb going really slow messing with my window reset.

Mine worked with it stationary, holding button for 5 seconds.

Dumb, perhaps. Stylish, certainly. Just be sure to smile and wave to the onlookers like you're a one-car parade.
