I feel much better to know that others also have seen all of their windows to open totally, however since i cannot be sure if i locked the car, if locked it would get unlocked also?

thank you very much for the offer and sorry

I was looking for an English manual to

on monday. Now i'll just wait and see if
the exclusive representative can help me.

Thanks :D
