Default Because I'm lazy and don't have my glasses

I woke up this morning and my car's windows were all open including the sunroof. Luckily it didn't rain last night and no one stole my car wash coins in the ash tray I called Jaguar because one of my wheel caps decided to go for a spin and they put me through to service to answer my question. Apparently there is a combination of buttons on the remote that will open all of the windows and I must have hit them (they told me to refer to my manual)? I forgot to ask if there is a sensitivity control for the alarm as it goes off on it's own even if I don't have the remote on my person ? Edited to ask another question. I have a habit of making a quick entrance onto the highway and I noticed that after pushing the peddle to the floor that it stays at 3000-4000 RPM when I reach the desired speed limit until I tap the gas peddle, Is that normal (I'd keep going but we have laws)? Sorry about all of the questions in one post but I have been criticized for starting to many posts

On my car if one presses and holds the "door open" key on the fob, all windows go down and the sunroof opens. Perhaps your fob was accidently subjected to prolonged pressure on the door open key. Sort of like "pocket dialing on a cell phone.

You are a genius and I feel stupid now, I just tried it and it's the same on my car. I will let the Jaguar service guy know that when I go in Any ideas on the alarm? My neighbors would appreciate it (I know I'm not touching the remote when this happens and no harley)?

BTW you can roll all the windows up and close the sunroof by holding the lock button on the dash.

I believe I found my alarm problem, the bonnet warning light comes on every once in a while and I'm assuming it's causing the alarm when it's activated. Does anyone know where the bonnet switch is located? It probably needs adjustment or replacement.

It is in one of the two bonnet latches. Driver side?? I had this same issue, but no alarm. I now just push hard over the driver side latch when closing it and the bonnet warning has gone away.

Smile window open

I love that window open feature. I'm in Florida and it's nice to be able to open everything from a hundred feet away and dump some of that heat before you get in. Didn't know about the door lock feature though. I learn alot on the forums!

The hood and trunk is still giving me problems to the point I can't lock the car. Even while I'm driving I will get the warning lights come on and off. Could I have a faulty module? It seems odd that that both act up.
