If a window is left open unintentionally, Model Y can send a notification to the mobile app (touch Controls > Locks > Car Left Open Notification, then choose Doors & Windows).
You can also enable Close Windows on Lock by touching Controls > Locks > Close Windows on Lock. When enabled, your vehicle automatically closes the windows when Model Y locks.
NOTE: See Cold Weather Best Practices for information on preparing windows for cold weather.
CAUTION: To avoid damage, windows automatically lower slightly when you open or close a door. If you manually raise a window when the door is open, ensure it is slightly lowered before closing the door.
WARNING: Before closing a window, it is the driver's responsibility to ensure that all occupants, especially children, do not have any body parts extended through the window's opening. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
