Door locks.
I just figured out, when you lock the car and walk away, then return to the car, you don't have to unlock it. The car knows you are coming back to get in and unlocks it.. Each time you walk away though, you have to lock it.

Is this a DUH!

I have Passive Door Locking enabled on mine. When I exit and all doors and hatch are closed, the car automatically locks a few seconds later, at the same time, the horn beeps once and the parking lights flash once. To unlock and open the door, I must touch the door handle sensor.

The door unlocks when you press the door pad and there is a fob in range... You don't have to push the unlock button on the fob. You can configure to only unlock the driver's door or both. Go through ALL the settings and you'll learn a lot.
DUH! is right.

Interesting, I did not know that was an option.

I tried that but I don't like the car locking itself in my garage. Means I have to get key every time I just want to go out to it and open a door. Just as easy to hit the lock button twice on the way out of the car when I want it locked. Do that with my truck also as it doesn't have the passive feature.
However, when I park in my garage, before I exit, I press the unlock button until the car chimes 3 times, then the Passive Lock feature is disabled until the car goes through another engine start/stop cycle.

Agree, that can be annoying if the cars locks and you do not want it locked.
However, when I park in my garage, before I exit, I press the unlock button until the car chimes 3 times, then the Passive Lock feature is disabled until the car goes through another engine start/stop cycle.

Yes,,,, when you start driving, the doors lock automatically, but on the 2014 there isn't another, auto lock mode. When you get out of the car you have to hit the key fob lock for the doors to lock.
EDIT:
OOOOH! I am wrong! I found the, passive door lock feature, walk away, horn honks, and locks the doors. Even on the 2014
