Automatic window closing is one of those small conveniences that quickly becomes a habit: you lock the car, and any window left slightly open rolls itself up. Haval Jolion owners ask about this feature often — forums and owner logs are full of posts along the lines of “does my car even have this?” The honest answer is: it depends — on trim level, model year, and even the specific market the car was built for. This article covers how auto window closing works on the Jolion, how to check whether you have it, how to turn it on, and what to do if the system should work but doesn’t.
The feature sometimes called Comfort Closing is responsible for automatically raising any open windows the moment the car is locked — whether that’s done with the key, the remote, or keyless entry. The point is simple: avoid a situation where the car is locked but a window is left cracked open, letting in rain, dust, or just an oversight.
On the Haval Jolion, it helps to separate two related but distinct systems:
The driver’s window one-touch auto-up — a single press of the up button raises the window the rest of the way on its own. This is present on nearly every trim and has nothing to do with locking the car.
Remote closing of all windows when the alarm is armed — this is what people usually mean by “auto closing,” and it’s not available on every version of the car.
Tip Before changing any settings, confirm your car’s exact trim level from the registration documents or the door-jamb sticker — the Jolion lineup has been updated more than once, and the feature set differs between facelifts.
Which Jolion trims include auto window closing
The Haval Jolion is sold in three main trim tiers — Comfort, Elite, and Premium (in some markets these appear under different local names). Forced remote window closing and mirror folding from the key fob is officially listed as part of the range-topping Premium trim, alongside power windows with an auto-closer function on all four doors rather than just the driver’s.
Trim
Remote window closing from the fob
Window auto-closer
Comfort (base trim)
Typically not included
Driver’s window only
Elite
Not officially listed; some cars have no such function
Driver’s window, sometimes front passenger window
Premium (top trim)
Included — forced remote window closing from the key
All four doors
Owners of lower trims often confirm this in practice. In one Russian-language forum thread, an Elite Plus trim owner notes that, based on feedback from other owners of the same trim, the window auto-closer simply isn’t present on that version, and asks the community whether the feature can be enabled another way.
Worth knowing A missing feature on a lower trim isn’t a fault. The body control module (BCM) on entry-level versions may not physically support the command to close all windows at once, so there’s no hidden menu setting that will “unlock” it without touching the electronics.
Method 1: Check the factory function from the fob or door handle
The first step is confirming whether the feature is present on your car at all, before moving on to settings changes or aftermarket hardware.
Steps
Turn off the engine and close all doors.
Lower one window by a few centimetres.
Press and hold the lock button on the key fob (or the handle sensor, if your car uses keyless entry) for 3–5 seconds without releasing early.
Watch how the car responds — the window should start rising as soon as the locks engage.
If the window doesn’t react, the function is either missing on your trim or disabled in software. On keyless-entry versions there’s a useful detail: holding the handle sensor reportedly gives the same result as holding the fob button, so it’s worth trying both.
From an owner’s experience One owner’s log for a 2024 Jolion 4WD describes exactly this mechanic: the factory function activates when the handle button (or fob) is held slightly longer than usual, and every window rises on its own — no aftermarket module required.
Method 2: Check the infotainment system settings
On some Jolion versions (mainly those with the 12.3-inch touchscreen), a handful of comfort settings are duplicated in the infotainment menu, though not every body-control option is exposed there.
How to check
Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
Open the infotainment system’s menu.
Go to “Settings → Vehicle → Comfort” (on some software versions, “Vehicle Settings” → “Doors and Windows”).
Look for options related to automatic or comfort window closing, or window closing when locking.
Enable the relevant toggle and save the settings.
After changing a setting, retest the function right away using the fob method above to confirm the change actually took effect.
Note If your software version doesn’t have this menu section at all, that’s normal too — some comfort parameters are never exposed in the infotainment interface and are handled entirely by the body control module directly.
Method 3: Re-initialize (relearn) the power windows
A common reason auto closing “disappears” is that the power windows lose their learned end-stop positions. This happens after a battery disconnect, a power-window fuse replacement, or body-control-module reprogramming at the dealer.
Relearning procedure
Turn on the ignition.
Lower the window fully using the down button.
Once the window reaches the bottom stop, keep holding the button down for another 3–5 seconds.
Raise the window fully using the up button.
Once the window closes, keep holding the button up for another 3–5 seconds.
Repeat the procedure for each of the four windows in turn.
Only after each window has been relearned individually can the body control module correctly calculate the end positions needed for automatic operation — including remote closing.
Method 4: Dealer activation and BCM programming
If the feature isn’t active but your trim technically supports it (or you’re open to a software modification), it’s worth visiting a dealer or a workshop with Haval diagnostic equipment. A technician can check:
whether support for the feature is built into the BCM firmware for your specific trim and market;
whether software activation is possible without hardware changes;
whether the firmware is up to date — a software update can sometimes unlock comfort options that weren’t previously available.
In practice, an aftermarket alarm system also matters. If your car has had a security system installed (Pandora, for example), window closing on arming may be configured through that alarm rather than the Jolion’s factory electronics. In one owner discussion, that was exactly the fix — the feature was enabled through the relevant “Comfort” setting on the installed alarm system rather than anything native to the car.
Before you visit a shop Programming the body control module through the diagnostic port can, if done incorrectly, cause faults in other vehicle systems. Only have this done by an authorized dealer or a trusted shop with the correct equipment for the brand.
Method 5: Install an aftermarket window closer
If the factory function simply isn’t available on your trim, and reflashing the BCM isn’t possible or desirable, an external closer module is an option. The device connects to the central locking circuit and sends a command to raise the windows when the alarm is armed, independent of the car’s factory logic.
Benefit
Description
Convenience
Windows close automatically when the alarm is armed, regardless of trim
Protection from rain and dust
Prevents moisture getting in through a window left slightly open
Extra functions
Some modules also support ventilation mode and opening all windows with a single command
Compatibility
Fits most Jolion trims, including base versions without a factory closer
Wiring detail worth knowing In one installation log, an owner initially wired an aftermarket closer to the ignition switch’s ACC line — but on the Jolion, that line stays powered for a while after the ignition is switched off, so the closer didn’t trigger promptly. The fix was to move the power wire to a circuit that loses power as soon as the engine stops. If you’re planning a similar install, confirm the correct wiring point for the Jolion specifically with your installer, rather than relying on generic instructions written for a different Haval model.
It’s also worth noting that on some Jolion units, a window closer is effectively already built into the factory alarm module on top trims, and owners of that setup report that related functions — ventilation, opening all windows at once — work fine, while the core task (closing on arming) simply comes down to getting the power wiring right, as above.
What owners say: real-world reports
Beyond the technical side, it’s worth looking at real ownership experiences — they often show how the feature behaves in practice more accurately than official descriptions.
One Jolion owner with keyless entry reports that after a couple of weeks of use, the exterior handle sensor stopped responding to the locking command, even though unlocking kept working fine — a similar issue came up for other people in the same thread, some of whom linked it to a low key fob battery or interference from nearby jamming devices.
An owner of a 2024 Jolion 4WD posted a video in their owner log showing all windows closing without touching the fob at all — just holding the door handle sensor slightly longer than usual gives the same result as holding the key button. They mention they now rarely take the key out of their pocket for this.
— owner log, “Window closing on arming,” Drive2.ru (Russian-language)
An Elite Plus trim owner, who had switched from another Haval model where the window closer worked out of the box, found no such feature on their Jolion and asked the community about activation options. Replies suggested that on a lower trim, the feature could only realistically be enabled through dealer software activation, or through the “Comfort” setting on an installed aftermarket alarm system.
These accounts are paraphrased from public owner logs and comments on Drive2.ru, a Russian-language automotive community, and reflect individual cars and conditions rather than a guaranteed outcome for every Jolion.
Why auto window closing might not work
Cause
Fix
Power windows haven’t been relearned (after a battery disconnect or fuse replacement)
Run the relearning procedure for each window (Method 3)
Feature is turned off in the infotainment settings
Check and enable the relevant setting (Method 2)
Trim-level limitation (Comfort, some Elite versions)
Ask your dealer about software activation, or install an aftermarket closer
Weak keyless signal or low fob battery
Replace the battery; test both near and away from the car
Incorrect wiring point for an aftermarket closer
Move the module’s power feed to a circuit that loses power as soon as the ignition is off
Outdated body control module firmware
Update the firmware at an authorized dealer
Faulty window control module
Have it diagnosed at a service center
Useful tips for Haval Jolion owners
Check the automatic window function regularly, especially after the car has sat idle for a long time or over winter.
Don’t hold the up button for too long once a window has already fully closed — it doesn’t speed up the relearning process and just adds wear to the mechanism.
Plan for a full power-window relearn any time the battery is disconnected — this is a normal, expected step, not a sign something is broken.
If you’re installing an aftermarket closer, confirm the correct wiring point for the Jolion specifically — generic “typical Haval” instructions may miss the quirks of the ACC line staying powered.
If keyless entry stops responding only to locking but still works for unlocking, start by checking the fob battery and testing from different distances before assuming it needs a shop visit.
Conclusion
On the Haval Jolion, auto window closing when the alarm is armed is a factory feature, but it’s not available on every trim — it’s most reliably present on the range-topping Premium trim, while Comfort and some Elite versions may not have it at all. Before assuming something’s broken, check that the power windows have been properly relearned and that the relevant setting is switched on, if your version has one. If the factory function isn’t available and you’d like to add it, there are two realistic paths: dealer software activation, if the BCM supports it at all, or installing an aftermarket window closer with correctly wired power.
FAQ
Yes, on the Premium trim this is a factory feature. To test it, hold the lock button on the fob (or the handle sensor on keyless-entry cars) for 3–5 seconds after closing the doors.
Usually the power windows need to be relearned — the control module loses track of the window end positions and each door has to be taught them again individually.
Generally no — the feature is officially listed for the Premium trim. Comfort and some Elite versions only get the driver’s-side auto-up function, without remote closing of all windows from the fob.
It’s technically possible, but the power wiring point matters: on the Jolion, the ignition switch’s ACC line stays powered for a while after the ignition is off, which can delay or prevent the closer from triggering. Professional installation is recommended for correct, safe operation.
That depends on the specific dealer and how the equipment is wired in — tapping into factory wiring can, in some cases, be grounds for a warranty claim denial on related components. Check the terms with your dealer before installing one.
