    Electric Windows "on" with Key Off

    I recently got (another) 1994 Design Edition Touring. The difference with this one is that it has Electric front windows! I think this was pretty rare for Tourings. Here is the dilemma : The windows are able to be lowered with the key "off". You can tell when they are ready to be commanded to go up or down is when the switch is lit.

    The other weird thing is that the window switches will light up (and stay lit) when I open the door. This means I can open the door and lower (or raise) the windows without putting the key in.

    Here are my questions: How does it do this? Is there a special electric window computer that handles this? Do non-Tourings work like this also?

      It's a euro feature called a Comfort relay.
