If you turn your headlight to on, do you consider them automatic because they turned on to the proper setting?

Or you turn the dial to "auto" and they come on/off automatically every time the light conditions prescribe it, without you turning the dial again?
BUT...you still have to "manually" turn the knob to "auto" for it to function.
That makes it "manuallyautomatic" ! :headbang:

Moving on, lets talk about the auto door locks that you manually have to press a door button or fob to activate.....:crackup:

Yes. You also park in your driveway and drive on the parkway. Life is confusing if you look to closely ;)

In regard to the headlights, you turn them to Auto one time and it is fully automatic; and with the locks you are referring to UNLOCKING, which should never be automatic. When I start driving, yes they automatically lock, so I guess I'm missing the point on both counts.

From another Ford window sticker (notice the MAN-FOLD). Hopefully we can all agree that Ford screwed up the wording on the window sticker and move on. I didn't realize my initial question would become so convoluted from the original question of whether the 2021 Lariat window sticker said "Auto Fold" or not.

LOL. The irony?

It actually does. If the door is locked, and you come to a stop, just pull on the door handle. It will literally automatically unlock that door and allow exit from the vehicle.

Fair enough, I was only looking at it from the angle that one was outside the vehicle. But some here would argue that pulling the door handle is manual operation.

I'm going to try a different method....
Instead of "pushing" my button, I'm going to try to "depress" my button and see if there is any change in the operation. One must consider all the options pertaining to the correct procedure, ie., depressing instead of pushing.

JFTR my 2022 XLT Tremor did not come with auto-folding-non-manual mirrors. The button is where it was on my 2019 that I recently turned in. Just another option that 2019’s had that newer ones don’t (hood hydraulics, auto mirrors, & 6 tie-downs) and still no tailgate dampers!!

My ‘21 Lariat Tremor has mirrors that fold when I shut off the engine and unfold when I start it. I think that qualifies as automatic? But I had to add a module to make it do that which I manually installed.

Well, auto can mean at least 3 things:
1. automatic
2. automobile
3. autonomous

But really, I think it's just to distinguish from manual fold mirrors, like when I go thru a car wash
I have to get out to fold the mirrors in.
