Power Windows become disabled

This seems a bit odd.

Stop, turn off the engine but leave the key in the ignition (like when you want to listen to the radio).

The power windows work.

Open and close the driver's door.

Now the power windows are disabled.

Why?

This is explained in the owner's manual on page 99 (for the 04TL).

The windows will operate for 10 minutes after you turn off the ignition, or until you open a door.

Possibly a safety feature, so if you leave the kids in the car they can't play with the windows, or something like that.

Stop, turn the engine off and doors get unlock. Remove the key and before opening the door, close all windows. I love it. If you open the door, they stop working.

Our dodge does that too. The thing I don't like is in the TL the wipers dont go back down, and the radio doesnt stay on(until the door is opened).
