Discovery Sport Windows Global Close Feature: Troubleshooting Tips for USA Models

The Land Rover Discovery Sport is packed with features designed for convenience and tech-savviness. Among these is the global windows feature, a handy function that allows you to control your vehicle’s windows remotely. While the global down function, which opens all windows simultaneously, seems to work seamlessly for most Discovery Sport owners in the USA, the global close (global up) function can be a point of confusion and frustration.

Many Discovery Sport owners in the US have reported that while their global down feature operates as expected, the global up function – intended to close all windows at once – doesn’t seem to work. The vehicle’s manual itself only mentions the global down operation, leaving owners questioning whether the global close feature is even supposed to be active in USA models.

This has led to questions and discussions among Discovery Sport enthusiasts: Is the global windows up feature not available for USA specification vehicles? Or is there a setting or trick to enable it? If you’re experiencing this issue with your Discovery Sport, you’re not alone.

It appears that for USA specification Discovery Sport vehicles, the global windows feature is indeed limited to the “global down” function. The “global up” or “global close” functionality, commonly found in vehicles in other markets, is often disabled or not activated for US models due to regional regulations and safety standards.

While it might be disappointing to find that the global close isn’t working, rest assured that your vehicle is likely operating as intended for the US market. If you’ve checked your vehicle menu and confirmed that both “global up” and “global down” options are selected, and global down works but global up doesn’t, then it’s highly probable that global close is simply not enabled in your USA specification Discovery Sport.

For playing music and enjoying media in your Discovery Sport, while the InControl Apps offer connectivity, many users find direct Bluetooth or cable connections to be more straightforward and reliable for music playback. The convenience of checking your calendar through InControl Apps can be useful, but for music, simpler methods often provide a better user experience.

In conclusion, if you’re a USA-based Discovery Sport owner puzzled by the lack of global windows closing function, it’s likely by design for vehicles in this market. Focus on enjoying the working global down feature and explore the best media connectivity options that suit your needs. It’s always a good idea to consult your local Land Rover dealership for definitive answers regarding specific features and functionalities of your vehicle model and specification.
