I don't think it can be "disabled" permanently, but the manual says this:
Press the window control switch fully and release it. Press again or lift it to stop the window.
So it would appear to work like my current car, where you can basically "double-tap" the switch to just crack the window open. The amount of delay between first and second "taps" determines how far it opens.

Not a perfect answer, but perhaps a decent work-around solution.

Thanks. Yea you can do the double tap but I like windows opened just to bottom edge of window deflector which is harder to achieve with 1 touch.

If you don’t press all the way, it works like old windows. Maybe there are two wires per switch? Maybe pop off door panel and figure out which wire to disconnect???

Don't push down all the way. There are two stops - 1st operates normally, push it all the way for auto down (or auto up if equipped). Briefly press it gently and it'll lower the window just a bit.

This shouldn't be that difficult. Play with it and learn it's sensitivity. You can lower the windows just a bit quite easily.

Also in the camp which finds this feature a major inconvenience and annoyance.

Thankfully the one touch operates only for down, so if accidentally press the switch too hard, engaging one touch down, its travel can be halted part way down and then the window nudged higher incrementally using the up function.

It is a major inconvenience if you press a button too hard and have to press it again? You must seriously be hating the pressing a button to flip out a switchblade key, inserting the key, twisting it.. Exhausting.

I don't deploy nor in any way fiddle with the switchblade key while the vehicle is in motion. Hitting a patch of rain while tooling down the road, necessitating an adjustment of the window up and then down again after passing through it a not uncommon occurrence hereabouts.

Getting windows to exact level of window deflectors for max ventilation, appearance of closed windows and rain control is difficult with 1 touch feature. Would be nice to have a turn off on menu screen.

U mean they don’t have 2 levels of pressure for open and auto open?
