power window locks on Limited

When you activate the power window locks - so that the passengers cannot control the windows, you are unable to open or close the windows either from the driver panel. Is this broken or working as designed? Even on my 1996 Saturn - when I activate the power window lock, I can still control this as a driver.
If this is working as designed - then this is not very smart!

Just checked mine on an SE model...same as yours...driver cannot control the windows if the lock button is engaged...so it is not broken apparently but part of the design....wonder why they did that

My 07 Limited is the same way, but it never occurred to me that it would work any other way. My wife's 2005 Honda Odyssey works that way, as did the 2003 Pontiac Vibe (Toyota Matrix) I used to own. On all three vehicles, engaging the power window lock deactivated the power window switches at all doors, including the driver's.

kdahlquist - I was thinking that these "disable" passenger power windows (mostly rear) are for kids so that they cannot play with the controls. I would think that the driver should be able to still have the control so that they can roll the windows up or down. My 1996 Saturn was designed that way so that even when you deactivate the power window switches - the driver was able to control it from the driver side. I used it a lot in my Saturn with 2 toddlers.

yeah- i think most cars were designed to take away control from the passengers but the drive could still control...

Yeah, I agree its strange, but thats how my 01 Nissan Altima functions as well... I was hoping it wasn't too common since it seems rather silly.... oh well

In my experience, this seems to be the case with most Asian brands. On my American vehicles, the driver's controls still function when the window lock is on.

Bought an 07 SF at the end of August. Last week the lock on the glove box falls out. Door still opens and closes fine. Anyone else with this?
