Audi Q5 left side window does not close properly and shows as open in the app on Audi Q5

Problem overview

Some Audi Q5 owners report experiencing issues with the left side window not closing properly and showing as open in the app. These problems are often linked to the replacement or disconnection of the 12-volt battery, which can lead to the need for manual operation of the window switch to fully close or open the window. Additionally, if the window is partially down and pressing the close button results in it fully opening instead, this may indicate a malfunction in the auto-close function, requiring a reset or calibration of the window system. Resistance in the window frame can also cause the window to stick and fail to close correctly. To address these issues, some owners find that performing a simple window reset—by rolling the window down completely and then back up—can help recalibrate the system and resolve the problem effectively.
