I searched and didnt find much...but can the windows rolling down on their own be fault of a weak battery??

This has happened twice in the 2.5months ive had the car...or i may have pressed it on the keyfob on accident. I dont like this feature at all....makes it easy for someone to steal the car.
 
Your unlock button is probably being held down without you knowing.

Check for something putting pressure on the FOB in your purse. Also you have to be fairly close to the car for this to happen.
 
lmao im not female or european

^^^Not for me.

Yeah im sure it was just the keys pressin against the fob in my pocket.
 
there's a feature to put the windows down on the key fob? is this stock?

yea i think so

hold the unlock button down until all the windows including roof open...and to close them, insert your key into the driver door and turn to the lock position until everything closes

Yes. Read your owner's manual.

I guess if you were going to do that, you already would have. I wonder what else your car can do that you don't know about.

To roll all the windows down, press and hold the unlock button until the windows start to open. After they start, you can release the button (or not, it doesn't matter).
To roll all the windows down, put the key in the driver's door and turn it to unlock and hold it there until all the windows are open.
To close all the windows, put the key in the driver's door and turn it to lock and hold it there until all the windows are closed.

The moon roof counts as a window in the instructions above.

The "gentle" lesson is to use the resources at your disposal first - manuals, searches, etc. Cuts down on redundant traffic and you'll be in a better spot to ask questions.
And if you think that was rude... you haven't read much here!
There are some funky diag modes for the radio and DATC. Easy entry/exit, ability to change to pre-set driver settings depending on which remote is used, etc. Some neat stuff.

answering a question and giving you advice at the same time isn't rude, its called being helpful, and this forum is here to help people under stand their cars and to help trying to fix them, not to be a substitution for doing your own part to under stand the car which does include reading the manual for the car since it does tell you how every thing in the car does work.

then how are you supposed to find out about all the cool high tech stuff that makes these cars so expensive

buut anyways, thanks for the help and actually good point..i wonder if there are other cool things it can do i dont know of...
YES

if you think that the window thing is cool, just set you wipers to the very first notch, and wait until it rains, then you will really be blown away

Same thing happened to me a few days ago. I thought I was seeing things. My battery is fairly new too, about a month old.
 
Never heard of the windows rolling down from a dying battery, but the LS seriously looses it's mind with a weak battery. So I guess its possible.
