Default Open windows mystery

Newbie to this forum. I have 2022 Ridgeline and very impressed with it. Recently I was parked at a large parking lot at a big commercial store. I always lock my doors. After I came back to my truck I unlocked my door with the fob. After sitting in the truck to drive away I realized all the windows were wide open as well as the sun roof which I never open. I am not sure if the doors were unlocked at that time as I did that with my fob. I can't say for certain if the back window slide was open too. I am not a button pusher per say at most I will press the lock button twice when I lock or open. Any thoughts or has this happened to anyone else.

Is key fob stored in your pocket? With other things?

Thanks for the reply.
I always carry my fob by itself. Also I think you cannot open the windows unless the vehicle is running or in accessory mode.

It is something to keep an eye on. Make sure it does not happen unintendedly.
Does the owner's manual say anything about opening window with the key fob?

Mystery solved. If your doors are lock you press the unlock twice on fob and hold it down and the windows and sunroof will open. You can roll up all the windows by pulling the key out of the fob and put it in door lock and turn it twice. Good old Google search pointed me to this YouTube video. Thank you Avistor for kind of pointing me in that direction. I am not sure why I would really want to have this feature.

It seems to be a nice feature. Sort of like remote starter for cold weather. This would be used in warmer weather.

For an old timer its hard to keep up with the technology. Who would of thought. The manuals keep getting thicker and thicker. Honda should create an app where you point to something on the vehicle and would explain in detail all that it does.

I agree. That would make the learning curve much shorter
