Published availability and qualifications
Verified for the 2021 U.S.-market Volkswagen ID.4 driver-door two-switch window control.
Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
On the driver door, tap the REAR control and verify its function light comes on.
- 02
Press either window switch to lower the corresponding rear window or pull it to raise that window.
- 03
Tap REAR again when finished to return the switches to front-window control.
- 04
If no rear-window command is made for about ten seconds, expect the switches to return to the front windows automatically.
Important limits
- Check the REAR indicator before operating a switch so the intended window moves.
- The rear-control assignment is temporary and times out after inactivity.
- The separate child-lock control disables rear-door window buttons and also engages the electric child safety door lock.
Quick checks.
- ✓If a front window moves instead, tap REAR and confirm the light is on before trying again.
- ✓If rear passengers cannot operate their windows, check whether the child lock is active.
- ✓If REAR turns off before use, tap it again; the documented timeout is approximately ten seconds.
