how do I operate the windows and other electrical gadgets without having to switch on the engine?

I believe every electrical gadget should work with the key in position 2 (the one that starts the system self testing with all the lights on the dash coming on, just before cranking).
Some (like the windows) even work in position 1
Some (like the radio) might even work for some time with just the key in the ignition.

I'm pretty sure that's how it is on the D3

Regarding suspension with the smart key, I found this in the D4 manual
"The buttons on the Smart Key may be used to operate the air suspension system, allowing the vehicle to be raised or lowered remotely. This may be useful in attaching a trailer or loading the vehicle. To change the suspension height using the Smart Key, the vehicle must be stationary, all the doors closed and the hazard warning lamps switched on."

Having said that, what's the connection with the windows? Well, on the D3 the key fob could be used to open the tailgate, switch on headlights or raise or lower the suspension. It had to be programmed that way. Probably the D4 is the same. Someone with a D4 will probably help here

I just got a new Discovery 4 XS and I am trying to play with all its toys. One of the things that I noticed is that there is no 4X4 Info on the touch screen menu. Is this an option? I also cannot lower or lift the car using the smart key. Instead of lowered the car it lowered all four windows. Do I need to do some kind of setting?
One last question, how do I operate the windows and other electrical gadgets without having to switch on the engine?
