Well, at least you figured it out and nothing was wrong.

That's the way it works on every vehicle I know. When you push the unlock button on the key fob, only the driver's door unlocks. Push the button a second time (immediately after the first push), and all other doors unlock. I don't know of any vehicle that unlocks all doors on the first push of the key fob's unlock button.

Yes...I did push it a second time with the fob and door panel...like all other cars it takes a second time to open the passenger door...but for some reason mine did not...i did it a few times with the door and then it started working....who knows.....LOL

On a hot summer day I walked out of the grocery store with bags in both arms. As I approached the car I dropped the windows and popped the trunk open activating the window valet with the key fob. The lady puting groceries into her suv parked next to my corvette looked at me and said; you can do that with your arms full? I sure wish I could do that with my car.

It was easy to change,
The auto seat going back all the way when you turn off the car function
I had to have the dealer turn off.
In my Lincoln LS I could turn that feature off through the settings.

You can easily turn off all the features that prematurely wear things out. See your owners manual. I turned them all off the day I got mine.

I read the owners manual and it specifically says turning off auto seat is a dealer item.
I turned the auto seat off in my Vette.

Sorry. I misunderstood. If you have the headlight sentinel, I would recommend turning that off, too. Save your gears.

We have evolved and creature comforts are part of our everyday lives.
The pioneers were a tough bunch. And they usually died in their thirties.
