Default Door locks

I picked up my 17 Grand Sport and have quick question about door locks. When I drive the car and then turn it off and press the door button to open the door should the lock disengage? I have been having to hit the unlock button first before exiting the vehicle. Hope that is clear.

Thanks,
Fred Z.

Door lock behavior is one of dozens of features that you configure in Settings. Look in the owner's manual under Vehicle Personalization.

My doors automatically unlock when the inside door release is pressed, but this may be one of the configurable settings. Also - it may be time for a new car battery. Weak or suspect batteries can cause all kinds of flaky behavior. Also fob batteries only last about 3 years although fob is not related to your issue. There's lots of good stuff to browse up in the Sticky Threads. Here's one:

They should unlock when the car is turned off. If its still running you have to press the unlock button.

Configuration for the door locks is found under Settings in the infotainment screen using the below steps.

Settings
Vehicle
Power Door Locks
Auto Door Unlock

This allows selection of which of the
doors will automatically unlock when
the vehicle is shifted into P (Park)
with an automatic transmission or
when the vehicle is turned off with a
manual transmission.
Select Off, All Doors, or Driver Door
