OK. Thanks. I looked in my owner's manual and found I had the power fold mirror setting turned on. The automatic power fold works by using the "global closing" feature. Either by using the driver's side key and holding it back for two seconds or by pressing the lock button on the remote twice. It was never a problem. I just wish I did not have to remember to press another button when I parked. Thanks again.

I can open my driver door without all the doors unlocking. When using the remote it will unlock the driver door with one press of the keyfob and all the doors with 2 presses.

On mine, it depends on how I unlocked the car with the remote. If I unlocked the driver door only with the remote, when I open the driver door to exit, the other doors stay locked. If I unlocked all the doors with the remote, then when I open the driver door, all doors unlock.

I guess I'm a bit off from most in this thread. I love the styling, aluminum body and ride. The gizmos actually are a bit worrisom. I use the trunk every day (twice) and every time I close it, I wonder how much more complicated they need to make a rear deck latch. Everything is electronic and seems to be digitally controlled. That means a lot more sensors, solenoids, servos and motors to burn out. I bet 400lbs of the car is nothing but "luxury" items that are going to tally most of the repair costs in the distant future.

The air suspension and the way it adjust all the time (under rainy condition it could even be a problem),the fluctuation of height,the car movments.
some will say get teh sport suspension version,I got a xjr 30000 miles and it was about the same as the reg xj8,it seems like the air suspension system become loose after 40000 miles with more heights fluctuation ,no leaks ,just loose.
I red some people thinking of getting some winter tires for their xj8 or xjr,i will say do not hesitate 2 sec,go ahead and buy them.

Over all, I love the car. The only real complaint I have is the chair side bolsters are not adjustable and cut off the blood circulation in my legs. I am toying with the idea of a piece of 1/2 inch thick piece of dense foam to help make the seat more flat all the way across.
